- The book "Fietsen in Europa" [ Dutch :-( ] mentions that bikes can be rented
- at about 300 railway stations. The quality is very different, not all of them
- have gears. The bike may be returned at another station. Price (1991) about
- FF40 (traditional type) to FF55 (mountain bike). You'll need some kind of ID
- and a deposit of FF200.

- Route suggestions can be obtained (also in English) from:
