Lovely bike shops in Amsterdam
January 2, 2010 7:40 AM
Where can we buy cool things for our bikes in Amsterdam?
My husband and I will be in Amsterdam for a few days next week, and I'd like to look around for some bike accessories for my Pashley. I'm looking for panniers or a rack bag in particular, but we'd really just like to find shops that sell good-looking bike accessories (lights, bags, mudguards) that are hard to find here in the UK - the kind of things that Bobbin and Cycle Chic normally carry. In particular, if you know of any shops that stock Fastrider products, I would love to hear it!
We'll be staying in the city center, but are happy to wander further afield. Thank you!

WorkCycles has locations on either side of the city center.
Het Zwarte Fietsenplan (The Black Bicycle) has a location right next to the Rijksmuseum.

Just a quick update - knz, thank you for pointing me to HEMA, which i love, and which had so many cool things, bike-related and otherwise! And transporter accident amy, I got a lovely seat cover at The Black Bicycle, as well as skirt guards which are quite hard to find over here. Success, thanks guys!
