The blue-and-yellow OV-fiets gets a lot of attention as a tool for transportation, but is also a critical tool for recreation. Like enabling a spectacular Saturday rolling, splashing, and dining through Amsterdam's streets. Quality of life, powered by a quality mobility system.

“Amsterdam isn’t just a cyclist's paradise, it’s a pedestrian's one too. It feels designed for strolling, with a centre you can walk across in an hour, flat terrain, a simple layout, car-free streets and a bar on every corner. Two wheels are great, but two legs are just as good.”
