Back to Living & feeling at home

6x Bike (repair) shops

You’ve probably noticed—cycling is a big deal in the Netherlands, and in Eindhoven, bikes are a favorite way to get around. Don’t have a bike yet, or dealing with a flat tire? Here are six top bike (repair) shops in Eindhoven to get you rolling.

Rijwielhuis 't Verzet

Living life bike-less and feel the need to change it? Stop by at Rijwielhuis 't Verzet. They probably have a bike to your taste. Browse through the second-hand bikes and vintage racers, and don't hesitate to take a test ride on the colorful Edisonstraat. Two (or more) cups of coffee later, you could be the proud owner of a new two-wheeler. 

John Knoops

The historic Steentjeskerk is home to several entrepreneurs, including the bicycle store John Knoops. If you are interested in the latest bicycle technology, sleek designs, and smart features, you'll feel right at home here. Take a test ride to discover which bike suits you best. If your bike needs maintenance, John Knoops will ensure it gets back in top shape.

Fraai Staal

Looking for your dream bike? Then you need to go to Fraai Staal in Stratum. They are happy to help you get a custom-made bike, preferably with vintage parts. Take a look in the (online) shop because who knows, it might already exist. And if your current bike breaks down in the meantime, you can knock on their door, too.

LiebesRad

On the Hoogstraat, you'll find the service-driven bike store LiebesRad. In addition to maintaining and repairing your bike, they will gladly help you find a new one. This applies to both the sporty models and the urban bikes to commute. An important detail: sustainability is of great importance to this store; that’s why every product is selected with care. 

Zjoeff @Cyklist

Both the fanatic and the 'ordinary' customer can visit Zjoeff on the NRE site. This showroom, located at cyclist café Cyklist, is filled with quality bikes, including those from the Italian Basso and the Californian Linus. Be sure to join the terrace for a beer and a piping hot bitterbal. 

Swapfiets

Only in town for a few months? Or just not keen on handling bike maintenance yourself? Then Swapfiets is perfect for you! With a subscription, you get your own bike without the hassle. If something goes wrong or it gets stolen, they’ll replace it right away—so you’re never left without a ride!
