Cargo bike rental in Holland..

tomns

Hi folks

I'm looking to introduce our young son (coming up to 1 year old) gently into cycle touring. I was thinking about taking a trip to Holland and cycling some of the routes there. I wondered if anybody knows of a good source of bike rental for cargo bikes like a Christiania or a Bakfiets that we could carry the youngster + some luggage in. We'll probably take the ferry + car to get over there, and then hop off once we've picked up a bike to tour around a little.

Not too precious about starting points or destinations at the moment, just wondered if anyone had any ideas / experience in hiring these kind of bikes! (it also serves as an opportunity to give them a try before possibly buying one..)

Thanks in advance!

As your Dutch plans are not 100% sure yet:
MOBIEL in Kortrijk (Belgium) rents 3 cargo bikes.

MAX MOBIEL in Ghent (Belgium) rents 8 cargo bikes.

All pages are in Dutch, but I'm pretty sure you will sort out the essential stuff.
