🏗️ Construction of our new business premises is underway!
The photo shows the foundations being laid for a new development on Terbregseweg in Rotterdam, which will include our new business premises. If construction proceeds according to plan, we expect to move into our new location in the first quarter of 2027.
The new premises will house our office, warehouse and collection point. This location will allow us to further expand and improve our internal logistics, helping us process and ship your orders more efficiently.
We are also working hard on a separate showroom location, where a selected part of our collection will be displayed. In addition, bicycle servicing will be available at a separate service location.
We will share more news about our move and developments this winter. We are very excited about this next step and look forward to serving you even better and faster from our new location!
📢 Holiday schedule
From Friday 31 July through Tuesday 11 August, we will be operating on a holiday schedule. During this period:
• Orders will continue to be shipped
• Customer service will only be available via email and WhatsApp
• We will not be available by phone
• Our showroom will be closed
From 12 August onward, we will also be available by phone again.

18 years ago we started selling Brooks saddles… and we’ve been fans ever since 👌
But what actually makes them more comfortable bit also a bit more expensive than other saddles?
Time to find out 🔍
So we headed to the factory of Brooks England 🇬🇧
Built a saddle ourselves and saw firsthand how much work goes into it.
Our conclusion?
It’s actually a bargain.
So much craftsmanship, so much attention to detail…
and still handmade in England.
Thanks for the behind-the-scenes look 🙌

What if you want to carry two kids in seats + a Maxi-Cosi in your cargo bike?
Most people would say: don’t buy a Bullitt.
But as you can see… it can be done. 👀
We built this Bullitt X EP8 with a Hardus LXDT box, fitted with a Bullitt Twinseat (with belts) and a Steco Maxi-Cosi mount. Easy in & out thanks to the side doors, and the kids stay dry under a custom-made Hardus canopy.
We added some extra practicality too:
– Dropper seatpost for quick adjustments
– MIK adapter for easy rear rack storage
All in all, a build we’re seriously proud of 💥
