The OV- Fiets (bike). Discover Rotterdam by bike
Traveling from door to door
The train is a comfortable way to travel from station to station, but your final destination is often located some distance from the station. NS has thought of that as well. For example, you can rent an OV-fiets, store your own bicycle safely in an NS bicycle storage facility, take the bus, tram or metro or hop into an NS-Zonetaxi. Or if you would prefer to drive yourself, you can park your car at a Q-Park P+R or rent a Greenwheels car. As a business traveler, you can also work or hold a meeting at a Regus office near the station, so you do not have far to go for your next appointment. In short, you can choose the convenience that best suits your needs.
http://www.ns.nl/en/door-to-door
Using the OV-fiets
The OV-fiets is a quick and healthy way to reach your final destination. You can use your OV-fiets season ticket to rent up to 2 bicycles from nearly 300 locations. Locations include train stations, bus and metro stops, several town centres and P+R sites. You only have to pay € 3.85 per OV-fiets per 24 hour period. The bicycles are stored in both guarded and unguarded storage areas, or in self-service bicycle lockers or carousels. This way you always have access to a bicycle, and can continue your journey.
