South Africans in Amsterdam

[Vlamrouge]

Hi,

 

I was wondering if there are any South Africans in Amsterdam who might be interested in group rides.

 

Someone passed me this evening next to the Amstel wearing a Complete Cyclist jersey and I started wondering if there might be more of us (South Africans) who would be interested in doing group rides.

Anywhere near Amsterdam to buy decent equipment and kit ?

no shortage of cyclists to cycle with in Holland.... that is for sure

Completely off topic but worth a giggle. I lived in NL for about 5 yrs, still got mates there. The Strava profiles of my one mate who rides are hilarious. 80km ride, total ascent 10m.

 

But fietspad, what a dream.

Had a look but equipment mostly 2nd hand and a bit worn out. Also very little kit on offer !

Depending what your budget is.

I brought most of my essentials over from South Africa. Purchased some items from Wiggle.com

 

Then there is:

 

Rapha

Meesterknecht

Hans Struijk

Futurumshop.nl (they have a shop in Amsterdam also)

 

I'm sure there are more that I don't know about.

Don't need hills...cycle into the wind. Did that for three years...come sun, rain, sleet or snow.

 

Different lifestyle...try carrying two cases of quarts (equivalent) home on the back of your bike...or the hot chick you met at the pub. Lol. Good memories

I'm in Amsterdam but don't really do group rides. If you are new to Amsterdam cycling and need a guide for a ride, send me a message! There are two awesome loops outside the city.

 

 

Otherwise, go have a look at these popular routes.
