Bike sharing is a fast, convenient, and healthy way to cover the final part of your journey, such as from the train station or bus stop to your workplace or school. In Leiden, Oegstgeest, and Katwijk, all rides up to 30 minutes are free, allowing you to pick up and drop off a bike at any hub, even close to your destination, at no cost. Simply download the app to get started!
Free Rides from Hub to Hub in Leiden, Katwijk, and Oegstgeest
Around Leiden (including the Bio Science Park), Katwijk, and Oegstgeest, the first 30 minutes of each ride are free for everyone until June 2025. New hubs can be added in convenient spots, allowing you to park your bike right by your workplace or school (email your suggestions to deelfiets@pzh.nl). Keeping trips under 30 minutes means you can ride for free every time! Watch this video with Alderman Ashley North’s encouragement: “Get cycling!”
Orange bikes are also available in The Hague, Rotterdam, and Drechtsteden. While not always free, we’re offering vouchers for three months of free bike sharing in these areas.
