or stolen. The regular bicycles may only be used by one person at the

5. Damages, Loss & Theft
Before signing the rental agreement the Lessee is offered a bicycle
insurance which will cover:

Lessee can retrieve the bicycle for a fee. The insurance will only cover
the price of the bicycle(s). There will always be a deductible of €100,-
for a regular bicycle and €250,- for a tandem/electric/cargo bicycle.
Insurance does not cover personal damage or injury. If Lessee takes no
insurance, Lessee will be fully responsible for damage to the bicycle
