Santos Bikes

Santos is a small independent bicycle brand with passion for bicycles and love for quality. It started in dad's barn in a small town in a Dutch region, famous for tulips. Nowadays a team of 20 bicycle enthusiasts work dayly to fullfill the bicycle dreams of Santos customers. We all are cyclists and ride dayly. Open for input and feedback from other bikers, we quickly find out which ideas work and which do not and get new ideas. We like top quality parts and often devellop or modify them ourselves. Our own R&D department with bike crazy engineers takes care of that. One thing you will not find at Santos is an assembly line. Every mechanic has his own workplace and builds your bike from start to finish. Just like how it started in 1997.

Are you interested to hear the full story? Pop in for a chat or testride, we are opened every friday from 9:00 to 17:00. Do you prefer to get personal advice from a Santos specialist? Book a Santos specialist for a two hour exclusive tour. You can expect to hear all about Santos, get answers to your questions, help with all the options we offer and, off course, make plenty of test rides. Over 100 test bikes are waiting for you.

About our bicycles and their riders

Matapalo to Paso Canoas. Biking in Costa Rica

The benefit of camping is being closer to nature and it is better for the environment and the budget. Saturday nights thunderstorm and downpour cured us of the temptation of being that close.

Ahuachapan to Oasis Azul

Yes, our 5th country flag and more than 13.000km, almost halfway to our goal. Or is the goal being on the road 😊. We do think so.

Biking in Costa Rica

Biking in Costa Rica is a bliss. We feel suddenly free to go more off-road and discover beautiful, butterfly kissed roads, plains, steep hills and rainforest.

Santos Onderweg

Chiapa de Corzo to Cuauhtémoc, border of Guatemala

The Sunday in Chiapa starts for me with a stroll through town looking for yogurt and some fruit. I really treasure the time wandering alone through quiet streets in a city that is awakening.

Oasis Azul to Managua - one year on the road

Should we include the time we spent at home in the count of our travelling days or not? We subtracted some days for the time we were in Europe for Christmas and New-Year and we will not bother you with the details, but we come to a count of 51 weeks of travelling time. Flying back home for a week on the 14th of May 2018 was exactly a year after we took off on this adventure.

A long climb

It’s been three months since I told you ‘how I burned out riding a bicycle‘. And it’s been over five months now since I broke down, and I finally feel like the end is almost in sight.

Getting back in the saddle

Between (re)organising all the travel and cycling gear I’ve collected over the years in my mothers attic, packing my panniers and picking up the last bits here and there I just manage to sit down for a blog.

Spinning South: van Puebla naar Oaxaca

“It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them.” Hemmingway.
