Rotterdam by bicycle
Like any city in The Netherlands, Rotterdam is very, very bicycle-friendly. Getting around by bike is probably the fastest way of travel within the city. There are separate bike lanes on most major streets and there are separate traffic lights for bicyclists. Avoid getting your tire in the tram rails. Always cross tram rails at an angle. Always lock your bike securely when leaving it, preferably chained to a fixed object.
Renting a bike
Handy places near Central Station to rent a bike are:
The two official NS rental offices:
1. Leave the station in the direction of the city center. Follow the indication "stationsstalling" to your right. You will find the office in the 'Groot Handelsgebouw'.
2. Leave the station in the opposite (northern) direction. You will find the other office on your right hand, directly when leaving the building.
Alternatively, try Use-it, which rents out nice Kronan bikes (Schaatsbaan 41-45, leave Central Station towards the center. Turn right at restaurant Engels and take the 2nd right).
