Over the past two decades, Holland Bikes has grown into the leading provider of bike tours and rentals in France, operating more than 20 retail and rental locations and welcoming hundreds of thousands of customers each year.

In 2024, Holland Bikes expanded internationally with the opening of its first U.S. location in Brooklyn, New York. Located near the Brooklyn Bridge, the location offers high-quality Dutch bikes and e-bikes for rent, as well as guided tours of Brooklyn and Downtown Manhattan in multiple languages.

Following the success of the Brooklyn operation, Holland Bikes continued its New York expansion in 2025 with the opening of a second location in Midtown Manhattan, just a few blocks from Central Park. From this location, we offer bike and e-bike rentals as well as guided tours of Central Park and Manhattan.
