Welcome Friends!

New overnight stay price 2023

The board of Stichting Vrienden op de Fiets has decided to increase the current overnight stay price as of 1 January 2023 to €25 per Friend and €14 for children up to 12 years of age.
Due to the uncertain economic developments, this rate is valid for two, instead of four years. This means that the overnight stay price is fixed until 31 December 2024.

A brief explanation of the setting of these new rates can be read here.

About Vrienden op de Fiets

Members of Vrienden op de Fiets, our Friends, enjoy multi-day biking and hiking trips. At the end of their active day, they are tired but content and on the lookout for a place to stay overnight and a hearty breakfast. That is what they find at one of our more than 5000 guest addresses. Our Friends like meeting new people and do not expect luxury.  They mainly want to relax and recharge for their early start next morning.

Who are our guest addresses?

The friendly hosts at our guest addresses enjoy sharing their home with like-minded people. They like to do sporty people a good turn by offering a warm welcome, a place to freshen up, a comfortable bed and an energising breakfast. Just to state the obvious: this means that a stay at our guest addresses should not be confused with a stay at a hotel. Friends of Vrienden op de Fiets are offered hospitality in our hosts’ private homes.Continue reading

Tell us your story

It feels great to finally have our freedom of movement back. Last summer, bikers and hikers were out in droves again. This autumn, new adventures are in the making now that thousands of Friends are once more on their way to our guest addresses. Have you met a remarkable Friend or did you stay at a really special guest address? Share your experience with us! We will publish a selection of your stories on our site.

Please send your story, video or audio file to Bart.

Thank you!

What’s not to like, about a hike?
As for a cycle: it keeps you vital.
But Friend does not rhyme
with motorist.

PLEASE NOTE: SITE NOT AVAILABLE FROM MARCH 24 - 31.

Dear Friends and guest addresses,

Behind the scenes we are working on a new IT system. It will go live at the end of this month. Therefore, the website will be closed from Wednesday March 24 to Tuesday March 31. From April 1st you are more than welcome and almost all services will be available again. In the meantime, we would like to refer you to the booklet and of course the helpdesk is available for questions.

After April 1, there are a few perks that you will probably have to wait for. For example, the notice board (‘Prikbord’) for finding a cycling or walking buddy is not immediately back. The gift membership that you may want to give to a good friend is also temporarily unavailable. We try to fix this as soon as possible.

Warning: please save your favorite guest addresses and the information and contacts of the Prikbord’. We are doing our best, but we may not be able to put this information back on the site. If all goes well, you will not notice the new system and you will soon be able to use the service you are used to again.

Thanks for your patience and a warm greeting,

Team Vrienden op de Fiets
