2: Swapfiets

 

Swapfiets has a classic origin; a group of friends who had a good idea which they tried out, and it turned out be a success. For a fixed monthly fee you will get a Swap bike and they make sure your Swap bike always works.
After a period of refurbishing their own bikes, Swapfiets has come to the point that it has designed its own bike and that the service is available in more and more cities.
The iconic blue front tire mounted on all bicycles. This way it always remains clear which Swapfiets bikes are and who all belong to the family.
Meanwhile, more and more people are discovering the convenience that Swapfiets brings with it.

With Blue-bike you can easily get from a certain location to your final destination and back.
