Cycle to Rotterdam and then nip to Amsterdam to return it. This will cost you about 350 € for two weeks plus 29€ for you and 12 € for the bike on the sleeper from Amsterdam to Basel. http://www.bikecity.nl offer 8 gear "Touring" bikes. I like the look of bike city's bikes because you don't need to ride about with "Eat at Joe's" on the side of your bike. <br />You could also buy a second hand bike in Basel and sell or donate it when you get to NL.

Bike ...I suspect you're on a hiding to nothing. Bike shops and the hire industry are a series of small units. They don't seem to cooperate. The only long distance cycle route, I know, where you can pick up a bike at one end and drop it off a the other is Berlin-Copenhagen.
