I cycle a bit, but my bike got beyond repair. So I've signed up with Swapfiets, a hire company. The name is Dutch for "swapbike". I got the bike yesterday. If there's a problem, I just arrange a swap for another one.
The bike is pleasantly sedate, as Dutch bikes tend to be. It has hub gears, brakes when you back-pedal, and its hub dynamo lights are always on until you stop moving. Seems good so far. I rode home from the station, much to the surprise of my cycling muscles.
