All it takes is less than a minute and just a few clicks, and you have make an appointment to get your bike fixed on the spot, wherever you've broken down, whether it’s just a flat tire or something more serious.

About Flattire.nl

The FlatTire app is the creation of a team of three international graduate students from the University of Amsterdam drawn together by a common passion for bikes. In 2013, the team started Flattire.nl, a mobile bike shop in Amsterdam, fixing bikes in most student campuses around the city. It quickly expanded from predominantly helping out students to having customers from all walks of life.
