The Holiday Biker

The Holiday biker is the leading store on our little planet specialized in touring bicycles. But also biking and camping equipment, waterproof panniers, multifunctional clothing, sleeping mats, guidebooks, maps and a lot more.

About the Holiday biker

The Holiday biker originated from my passion to travel by bicycle. I have travelled over 250.000 kilometer through more than 90 countries. I wrote 8 books about those journeys and have made several movies.

Make a Europe tour on your brand new bike, and get your tax refund after taking your bicycle home.

Let us ship your bicycle and get it delivered on your doorstep. Import taxes are charged depending on your homecountry. But of course we make always a testride on each new bicycle. So the moment your new ‘dirty’ bicycle leaves our shop, it is second hand and you don’t have to pay import tax.

Take a look at the collection of happy customers. Who knows, maybe somebody from your part of the world is on the list.

Happy travels!

Suzan and Rasmus are a Swedish couple. They left Sweden on an antique tandem, made it to Amsterdam with only 5 serious repairs and hoped to reach South Africa. When our mechanic was working on their bicycle, they took our showroom model for a ride. When their old tandem was repaired, we shipped it back to Sweden. Suzan and Rasmus continued their quest on our Santos Double Travel. I am sure it will reach South Africa with a lot less repairs. This is their website: www.travelsbytandem.com/se
