My wife and I rented electric bikes for one day while in Bruges for a five-night stay. We paid 30 Euros for each bike, plus another 10 Euros for each bike to keep them past closing time (and return them the next day).
The owner was very friendly and also happened to be extremely knowledgeable about musicians from our home country, the names of which he reeled off as he prepared our rental. He then sent us to his wife, who set up our bikes, adjusted the seats, demoed the controls, lock and charger. The bikes came with large panniers, which were very convenient. They gave us a charger as well as an emergency/flat repair kit.
The bikes were great. They were very sturdy, but not exceptionally heavy. The charge lasted as long as we were told it would. The rental process was very quick and easy, but we still felt like the owners cared about our experience and wanted to ensure we would be safe during our ride. We had a great time on our 66km ride to the North Sea and into The Netherlands and back.
De Ketting earned my highest rating and strongest recommendation.

It was so easy and pleasant doing business here. It took 10 minutes from arrival until we were off on our way. Panyer bags were included in the price of €10 per day. Cycling in the area is also easy even if you're not very fit.

We rented bikes from Deketting twice during our stay in Bruge. The customer service was excellent and the bikes also well maintained. We were worried that we might struggle to find a bike for our 10 yr old but she was supplied with a perfect fit in no time. The bikes have locks and bags for your bits and pieces which was also appreciated. Very reasonably priced and would highly recommend this provider.

During our stay at Bruges, we were looking for a place for renting a bicycle for an excursion to Damme and Sluis. After reading some reviews for different places, we chose for De Ketting, and it turned out that our choice was a good one.
Very friendly service and we received a normal bicycle and an e-bike in perfect condition. In addition the bikes were equipped with carrier bags, and we got an extra lock for the e-bike, as well as a repair kit for the tire of normal bike (better safe than sorry!), for no additional charge.
If you're looking to rent a bicycle during your stay in Bruges, look no further!

My wife and I hired bikes and cycled to Damme and around Bruges, passed the windmills and back to Minnenswater. Really helpful at the shop, adjusted the bikes for us and gave really good suggestions as to where to cycle. Only €20 for 2 bikes for the day. Incredible value!

Hired bikes for 48hrs. Owners were friendly and provided us with lots of useful information. We were given padlocks and helmets for the children and a number to contact the owner if necessary. (we did actually need this and received a prompt response). Brilliant routes for cycling. Highly recommend.

We hired an electric bike and a standard bike for a trip to Damme. The couple who run the shop were so friendly and helpful. The price was good and the bikes were well maintained. Great bags on both bikes and locks provided in the price. The shop is really near to the cycle path that takes you to Damme so no worries about navigating the busy roads in Brugge. We looked in other rental shops first but this was definitely our preferred place mainly due to location and truly lovely owners. Thoroughly recommend!!

Honestly, it's one of the best days out ever. We rented bikes from this fantastic provider and had the best day. We cycled along the canal paths, out to Damme, then Sint-kruis, and back to Bruges. Once we got back to Bruges, we cycled round the outer city. In total 16 miles in 4hrs (with 2hrs to spare as bikes didn't need to be back until 6pm). All for 15 euros each, what a bargain for a great day. You just can't get lost its fantastic.

I used to live in Bruges, so it was a must to hire some bikes when i visited with my partner. The owners are extremely friendly and the bikes were in brilliant condition. Very reasonable prices too. We went around the Ring, visiting the windmills on the way and then had a ride around the town centre. :)

We rented 2 bikes at De Ketting for a day around Bruges.
The owners were friendly and proposed us quickly good bikes.
The proposed bikes were well adapted to our size and needs. They even agreed to borrow us some tools and spare tires, just in case (but we did not need them).

Is it possible to get a child seat on a bicycle?

I have tried emailing direct but not getting a reply.
Do you need to pre book for a 4 day hire? Is it still 8 Euro per bike per day?
Can they supply cycle path map?
Thanks
Written June 14, 2019
Sorry for delayed reply! I have been on holiday. You can walk in and get bikes for more than one day. We did a two day hire and then went back later for a third day. We only biked around Brugge and then to the Netherlands for a day trip. They may have a biking map, we did not need one for where we were going as we were able to use the local maps for where we were traveling by bike. And the cost was 8 Euros a day when we were there in the spring.

Hi... We will be in port for the day on August 4th 2019 and were looking to hire bikes for the day. Waiting to confirm exact numbers but thinking 6 normal bikes and 3 electric. Please can you advise how much per bike? Thank you. Jenni
Written December 20, 2018
Yes, it wasn't expensive compared to the others. I think from memory it was 8 Euros per day up to about 5pm, but you could extend and bring the bikes back the next morning for another few euros.

Hola pepa, una pregunta, en De Ketting, es posible alquilar una bicicleta y regresarla al día siguiente?, estoy buscando lugares donde me alquilen bajo esa modalidad, pero en todas las que he encontrado lo tienes que regresar 30 minutos antes de la hora de cierre, es decir, no te lo alquilan para que te quedes con ella toda la noche.
mil gracias.
