Advantages: none Disadvantages: deceiving images, you don't get the bikes you are paying for
...website with photographs of fantastic dutch classical bikes for hire in London. The website shows photographs of really nice and stylish bikes which are for rent at a decent price, 25 pounds per day per bike if you hire them for 1-3 days. Even though there were cheaper options we decided to treat ourselves for one day and choose one of these appealing bicycles, just to make it a really unique experience for one day! If only we knew! The delivery ... ...definitely nothing even resembling the dutch bikes that you find on the website! We thought we shouldn't complain mainly because we wanted the bikes for our day out, so we kept quiet and started off our day. Problem is, after 10 minutes we had left one of the bikes lost the chain so we had to stop and fix it. Due to the make of the bike this was a more difficult task than it is normally (we all rode bikes all our lives and are know how to fix them), ...

Advantages: Exceptional service and value for money Disadvantages: none
...I was totally impressed with Dutch Bike Hire - I received a prompt reply via email confirming they would deliver a bike to my hotel , which they did on time. They provided me with not only a bike that suited my needs totally ( I didnt want a flash new bike as I wanted to be able to lock it and visit some of the London sights during the day) but helmet, bike chain, bike path map, basket, in fact nothing was too much trouble for Wojtek. I asked for ... ...enjoying our meal I sms'd Dutch Bike Hire and within 20 minutes they came to collect my bike from where I was. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Forget hot stinky tube rides and expensive cab fares - see London the best way ( its all very flat and easy to manouevre around) by bicycle. This is one 50 year old Aussie gal who'll remember that day for a long time. regards, Annie Monks ...

Advantages: A proper Dutch bike with great convenience! Disadvantages: None - all you need is some luck with the weather
Last week I rented Dutch bike from Dutchbikehire in London. Even though I placed a last-minute request, they were able to meet me at a time convenient for me and provide me with a true Dutch bike (a so-called 'oma-fiets'), which was exactly what I was looking for. I am Dutch myself and missed cycling around on such a bike. The bike was of good quality and was amended to the right height for me. It comes with a good additional lock and even has working ... ...the bike at a time set by me and they agreed to meet me (in my case 8pm) at a convenient location. It is clear that Dutchbikehire knows their bicycles and know what cycling is all about. I will definitely return for another great day of Dutch cycling in London! ...

...expense spared. Hiring bikes from Dutch Bikes was one of the highlights. What a brilliant way to see London. The guy dropped the bikes to our hotel. They were basic but serviceable bikes- all you need for the totally flat and non-challenging cycle round London. He sent us on our way having adjusted the bikes and given us directions. After 5 mins cycling we were delighted to receive a friendly "toot" of the horn from the guy. He had driven ahead to ... ...find fab parts of London we would have completely missed. If you like a laugh and a bit of adventure we would definitely recommend hiring a bike from Dutch Bike Hire. We are Scottish and would not give a good review if we were not happy with the service. ...

Advantages: convenient, friendly service Disadvantages: can't think of any!
...1 July 2009. Called Dutch Bike Hire and was able to secure a bike for the next day. It was delivered right on time to my friends house. I was given a lock and helmet and gave it a quick ride to make sure all was working properly. We had a great day out and when we were close to home I called ahead of time so the bike could be picked up when we got back. He was there shortly after our return to collect it. The entire process was convenient and hassle-free. ...
