The most fun way to discover Texel.

The walking bike is the new adventure on Texel. Walking at a relaxed pace, you effortlessly explore every corner of the island. As fast as a bicycle, but without the saddle soreness. Highly recommended, also for a fun family day out or a company outing.

So what exactly is a walking bike?

A walking bike is a bicycle without a saddle. You stand upright and push off with short steps while the wheels do the work. You move just as fast as on an ordinary bicycle, but without the saddle soreness. If you can walk, you can ride a walking bike – most people get the hang of it in two minutes.
