Inside Kaptein

Amsterdam’s home for cyclists.

Since 1975, Kaptein has been part of Amsterdam’s cycling culture. What began as a small neighborhood workshop has grown into a trusted home for riders of every kind. From daily commuters to weekend explorers and dedicated racers, we believe every bike deserves care, every rider deserves attention and every visit should feel personal.

We love bikes. Always have.

Since 1975, we’ve helped Amsterdam ride better, faster and happier.



Quality matters. Every bolt, every fit, every ride.

We care about your bike, your story and your ride.



We keep it real and make sure it works.

That’s how we ride, and how we care.

How it started

From a workshop to cycling hub

Born from a small Amsterdam workshop, Kaptein has become a trusted spot for cyclists. Service, fitting, and club rides, it all happens here. With care, know-how, and a love for 
the ride.

Where the city rides together

Cycling runs through Amsterdam’s streets and through Kaptein. We’re part of the city’s rhythm, surrounded by riders who share a love for life on two wheels. Kaptein is more than a shop; it’s a hub for cyclists of every kind. With our own KCC club organizing rides and events, it’s the place where stories are shared, friendships are made and the community keeps rolling.
