When in Amsterdam, do as the Dutch do and saddle up! The easiest way to get around the city is by bike. No parking problems. No searching for petrol. Take in the sites and avoid the traffic by pedaling along the bike lanes.

We recommend MacBike. Their prices start at €7 for 3 hours or €9.50 for a whole day. And we've got a load of €1 discount coupons to hand over to you if you book with them. For full details see their website www.macbike.nl

Of course, stay safe. Make sure you signal and careful not to get your tires stuck in the tram lines so you don't get squashed by a tram. Follow the instructions given by the rental company and only lock up your bike at authorised locations.
