Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I rented bicycles from Cycle Center in Valkenburg on 4 different occasions in July 2024 while I was staying in Aachen, Germany. What a great setup they have.
Their primary rental seems to be E-bikes, however we rented hybrids or mountain bikes. The hybrids come with a panier. Each time we went, they highly recommended the hybrid bike. On my last rental there, I chose the Mountain bike and found it to be a lot lighter, faster and nimbler. If you return you bike after 5pm, you can return them to the hotel just across the courtyard. Included in the rental is a lock, patch kit and pump. We also rented helmets. Staff is very friendly and helpful, but on two occasions I needed gears adjusted or more air pumped into tires. Check the operation of your bike before driving off.
I highly recommend the modestly priced map which has easy to follow itineraries of various lengths. You can also download an app that can follow the same itineraries (as the map) and rent a phone mount. I did this the first time but found it more fun and engaging to use the map (old school style) on subsequent trips. All the itineraries have turning points indicated by colored numbers, which are indicated both on the map and on the street signs themselves.
If returning the bikes after 5pm at the hotel and you don't live in Netherlands, you'll need to return to the shop on another day to get your deposit back.
TIPS:
1) There is a free washroom in Cycle Center and the hotel across the courtyard will let you use their washroom facilities after 5pm closing of the bicycles shop.
2) There is an interesting Shimano store across the courtyard called the "Shimano Experience Center" which is a great place to visit if you are any kind of bicycle enthusiast
3) The restaurant "Restaurant De Beren" is in the same area and has a lovely outdoor seating area with great food
4) We parked across the street in a separate fenced parking for a flat rate 6 Euro (compared to metered parking close to the Restaurant de Beren.
5) Valkenburg is a beautiful town filled with many cafes and eateries. If the route you've chosen does not route you through the walking district, I recommend a detour to see it either the beginning or end of your ride.

I rented a road/race bike from Cycle Center for two weeks. I had a wonderful time cycle around South Limburg, which is really a hidden gem for cycling.

Cycle Center in Maastricht provided three of us with a regular and a tandem bicycle. Both bikes were up-to-date and performed flawlessly during a five-hour ride in town and the surrounding countryside. The clerk was friendly and knowledgeable, and with a glance he was able to pick a bicycle to fit my wife's small frame and determine the proper seat height. Bikes came with a saddle bag, handy and substantial locks, a patch kit for eventual flat tires, and a free map of town and region. Located about 800 meters from the Maastricht train station. Scooters are also available. This shop is also in nearby Valkenburg.
