  1. Hi,
    Firstly,sorry I can't write in Dutch. I was wondering if I could be given a little help. I intend to move to Holland in July after I graduate, to work in engineering, and I was wondering what the prices are for bikes in comparison to Scotland. I' ve been looking to buy a new racer, but wasn't sure whether I'd be as well to wait until I'm in The Netherlands. Would someone be able to give me the price for, say, a Trek 2000?

    Also I was wondering are there any cycling clubs for novices over there? I'd imagine that they are all of a very high standard and would worry about being humiliated!

  2. Don't worry I don't speak Dutch either 🙂 I'm an American working here for some time... Bike prices can vary depending on what you want... Not sure what you sales tax is, but it's 19% here - Germany is still at 16%, but I understand it is due to go up. Also - what part are you looking to move/work/live in? I'm in South Limburg - where the costs of living are somewhat lower, and the german border is VERY close, and goods are nearly always cheaper there.

    One of my local shops is actually a Trek retailer - I could ask how much a typical T2000 is running...

  3. Hi,

    Don't bother about the Dutch, most of us can speak English! 🙂 About your Trek, it retails here for about 1800-1900 euros, but you'll probably be able to get a better deal when you go to a shop here. As far as I know bikes are a bit cheaper here than they are in the UK, parts are definitely cheaper.
    If you want to have any further advice: send me an e-mail since I'm not on this forum too often...

  4. [lang=bg][QUOTE = Daibhidh; 2703528] Здравейте,
    Първо, съжалявам, че не могат да пишат на холандски език. Чудех се дали мога да се даде малко помощ. Възнамерявам да се премести в Холандия през юли, след като завършил, за да работят в техниката, и аз се чудех какво цени са за велосипеди в сравнение с Шотландия. Аз съм бил търси да купи нов състезател, но не е сигурен дали ще бъда, както и да се изчака, докато аз съм в Холандия. Уж някой може да ми дадеш цена за, да речем, един Трек 2000?

    Също така се чудех има ли колоездене клубове за начинаещи там? Бих си представим, че всички те са на много високо ниво и ще се тревожи за унижавани!
