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.
