Travelling to Amsterdam with young kids and wondering how to explore the city without the hassle of strollers or tired little legs? We’ve got you covered.
Bike Tours for families with small kids
At Mike’s Bike Tours Amsterdam, we’ve made our Family Bike Tours even better for parents with smaller children. We now offer electric cargo bikes,specifically, the Urban Arrow, known as the Cadillac among cargo bikes. Stylish, smooth, and safe, it’s the perfect way for families to ride together through the city and countryside.
A Safe and Relaxed Ride – With Your Own Local Guide
All our family tours are fully guided, which means you don’t have to worry about navigating or finding your way. Your expert local guide will lead you along the most beautiful and calm bike paths, carefully chosen to be safe and enjoyable for children.
In the city, we avoid the busy main roads and instead take you through quiet neighbourhoods, green parks, and along peaceful canals. Your guide knows where families feel most comfortable — and can easily adjust the pace or route to suit your needs.
What’s So Special About the Urban Arrow?
The Urban Arrow is a top-quality, electric-assist cargo bike with room for up to two children aged 12 months to 7 or 8 years old. Your little ones will ride comfortably and securely in a spacious front box seat with seatbelts and child helmets provided.
Thanks to the electric support, parents can ride effortlessly — no matter the distance or wind direction. It’s easy to steer, incredibly stable, and perfect for navigating Amsterdam’s bike-friendly streets and scenic countryside.
