Sundays are for riding, discovering new routes and meeting new friends. Maats has got you covered! On this page you'll find the rides we host from our store in Amsterdam.
How does it work?
We organize our socials rides for our customers and to introduce new people to Maats and the brands we sell.
During our social rides we offer you two routes: a longer route of approximately 90 km and a shorter version of approximately 65 km. On the day itself you can choose which distance you want to go ride.
Longer distances are a bit faster (30-32 km/h avg.) and this option is therefore for more advanced cyclists. The pace at the shorter distance is slightly slower (28-30 km/h avg.) and therefore more relaxed and accessible.
What is the level?
Although we love all cyclists, our rides are not for absolute beginners. If you register for our rides, we expect you to be able to ride at least 28 km/h in a group for a minimum of 2+ hours. Experience with group rides is a plus but not a requirement.
Book your spot
A couple of days before the start of the event, we will send you all the info you need.

Super kwaliteit, goede pasvorm. Erg blij mee voor deze prijs.
While researching plant medicines, Albert Hofmann accidentally absorbed a small amount of purified acid through his fingertips and discovered the powerful effects of LSD as he rode home on a bike. We celebrate this cultural phenomenon with our latest “Trace of Effect” capsule collection.
The Trace Of Effect Bibs are made from predominantly recycled fabrics and feature an amazing Performance Space pad made by Elastic Interface made for the longest rides. These bibs have a longer fit compared to our regular Maats Club Bibs and the laser cut hem is finished with an internally printed silicon gripper that prevents the legs from crawling up. Designed in Amsterdam and produced in the EU.

Super nice and confortable bib
Bij het zien van deze broek, was ik meteen weg van de broek. De kleur, dark purple, is gek, maar mooi. De snit van de broek is anders dan traditional. De stof, de stof is magistraal. Dun, erg dun, maar valt zo ontzettend mooi en lekker over je bovenbenen. En de pad werkt fantastisch. Heb tot nu toe maximaal 4 uur gereden met de broek, vooral op de gravel bike, maar de ondersteuning van de pad is van af het eerste moment tot de laatste fantastisch. Ook voor deze geldt, je moet hem in je wielenkast hebben, zodat je hem keer op keer kan pakken.
Perfect bib shorts. The chamois is not too soft not too hard just Perfect. The bibs length on the legs are slightly longer than other bib shorts I own. The length is perfect for a bit more protection from sun or cooler weather. These bib shorts made me HIGH.
Premium product at a great price.
Welgedaan Maats on this product.

The Fingerprint gilet is perfect for those chilly morning rides, Alpine descends or to complete your Trace Of Effect kit. The front and back fabrics are DWR coated and the mesh side panels take care of the ventilation. Made from 100% polyester. Designed in Amsterdam, produced in the EU.

Great asset , perfect for it’s use
Really nice materials and prints, super light and comfortable while riding, the double zipper is also a plus. In my case, I preferred getting a number above my usual (M is my standard) so I took L and found it more suitable.
Fijn licht jasje dat je makkelijk mee kan nemen. Had iets meer lengte mogen hebben voor mijn lichaam.
Mooi gilet - ziet er stijlvol uit, zit goed (misschien wat krap net onder de oksels) en is ook erg licht. Past makkelijk in de zak van je jersey als het warmer wordt tijdens het fietsen
Een gilet wat geen geluid maakt in de wind, geen gewapper, dat heel erg mooi aansluit op je lichaam en zijn/haar werk doet in een aanstekelijke print. Met de dubbele rits. Heel misschien kan deze gilet voor mijn lichaam net 2/3 cm langer zijn.

The limited Maats Trace of Effect Longsleeve Jersey is made from a MITI mid-weight 230 gr/m2 fabric, with micro-fleeced lining giving you comfort on cold days on the bike. The Italian fabric has been coated with a DWR (water-repellent coating), and is perfect to ride in temperatures from 5 to 15 degrees Celsius.

In April 2023 it was exactly 5 years ago that we opened our store at the van Woustraat in Amsterdam. To celebrate this, we are organizing 5 amazing events this summer. These are events that are in line with the things we have done with Maats in recent years or events that we have wanted to organize for a long time and for which this is the perfect reason.
Maats x Leeman Ride - Dönerdag September 14
At the end of August 2019, together with our neighbors from Leeman Döner, we organized one of the most iconic cycling events in the history of mankind: The Maats x Leeman Ride. This summer we will host already the fourth edition and it will be an even more special one as it is part of our Maats Five Series.
Event beyond imagination.
Trust us, you don't want to miss this one...
Together with MAAP we will organize three events in the coming months to honor the Spring Classics. A three-fold ride series based on three different elements that make the Spring Classics unique:
This is a ride experience where we come together and adapt to constant changes in terrain, weather and unforeseen challenges that make the classics so memorable.
All these three group rides start and end at Maats Amsterdam (9:00am coffee, 09:30am roll out, editions Cobbles & Go Far, and Maats Utrecht (9:30am coffee, 10:00am roll out, edition Bergs). The first two (Cobbles and Bergs) have a distance of approx. 130km the third one (Go Far) will be around 200km.
We'll create multiple groups based on cycling levels - however we aim that the grouop speeds vary between 28 and 32 km/h. There is a halfway stop on all rides. A ticket is mandatory. Participation is at own risk.
We will send you all necessary info and route a few days before the event.

Thursday November 9th, Maats Amsterdam
To many cyclists, running is a regularity in their training programme. Maats is excited that the Danish premium apparel brand Pas Normal Studios now boasts a fully-fledged workout line that is designed with running at its core. The new PNS Balance line features short- and longsleeve jerseys, shorts and sleek vests and jackets.
With all things running, it's about time Maats organizes a Social Run! On Thursday November 9th we'll gather at Maats Amsterdam, you're welcome in the store as of 18:00h and we'll set off around 18:30. We offer two routes to the south of Amsterdam: an 8km route with an average pace of 5:30, or 12km route with an average pace of 5:00/km. We adhere to a no-drop policy but you may always take your own desired pace.
After coming back, we'll have a drink in the Maats store and you can see and try PNS' Balance products.

The 2023 edition of the Maats x Pas Normal Studios race is planned for Saturday September 9th.
This event is to celebrate the collab between Maats Cycling Culture and apparel brand Pas Normal Studios from Copenhagen. Racing is in the DNA of the Danish brand and that is why we organize a Maats x PNS race in Amsterdam for the fifth year in a row already! We will make this a special festive edition.
For a previous edition's video and race report, check here.
This event is an accessible way to get in touch with racing. There are people who have experience with this, but it is also a perfect event for people who are new to racing. The race consists of a 15 minute warm-up and this is perfect for getting used to the track and to riding in a peloton. No worries about the level, it is a friendly race and suitable for most cyclists.
Details
You will receive all necessary information a few days before the event.
This event is for customers of Maats and Pas Normal Studios and participation is only by invitation.

Since last year, Maats proudly stocks shoe brand QUOC. At Maats we have been looking for distinctive brands with a good story and outstanding quality since day one. QUOC is a brand that meets all our requirements and we are stoked to represent it. At Maats, we sell both road and off-road QUOC shoes. This spring QUOC released their new collection which you can check here.
Together with QUOC we organize a social ride to celebrate our collaboration. Ondrej, Bonnie and James from QUOC are joining us for the ride, as well as local brand ambassadors Alberto Viciana and our own Sherry Buzzalong. We created a nice route (road) and will treat you to a coffee before the ride. Moreover, expect some nice goodies from our friends from QUOC for all participants.

The world's most carbohydrate-rich sports drink. Widely used by the best cyclists in the world. 80g of carbs per serving (500 ml). Can be used before, during and/or after activity.
Suitable for vegetarians & vegans.
Caffeine, carbohydrates and hydration. Everything at the same time – and at levels that make a difference. The Maurten DRINK MIX 320 CAF 100 has it all. By utilizing our hydrogel technology we’ve even managed to control the bitterness that caffeine usually results in – without any added acid, flavors or colorants. The DRINK MIX 320 CAF 100 contains 100 mg of caffeine.
Suitable for vegetarians & vegans.
Door alleen 1 bidon van deze drank te drinken per uur, kun je elke zware training aan. Verder hoef je dan eigenlijk geen repen oid tot je te nemen
This is the Maurten GEL 100. Energy capsulated in a natural hydrogel. Built with six ingredients – no added colorants, preservatives or flavours. 25g of carbohydrates per serving. Can be used before, during and/or after activity.
Suitable for vegetarians & vegans.
Energy encapsulated in a natural hydrogel. Built with six ingredients — no added colorants, preservatives or flavours. 25g of carbohydrates per serving. Can be used before, during and/or after activity.
Box of 12 servings.
Suitable for Vegetarians & Vegans.
The Maurten GEL 100 CAF 100 contains 100 mg of caffeine – that’s the equivalent of 1,5 espressos – or one cup of brewed coffee. That’s a lot compared to many of the traditional gels out there. It delivers 25 grams of carbohydrates through a unique blend of fructose and glucose (ratio of 0.8:1). It packs a high weight to energy ratio and doesn’t contain any added flavours, preservatives or colourants. Just like all of Maurten's products, it’s vegan-friendly.
Use the GEL 100 CAF 100 on its own during shorter durations, or combine it with other Maurten products to ensure you have enough carbohydrates throughout your session.
Smaakloos, maar komt er wat lastig uit. Echt gelachtig.
Solid 225 is a sweet and natural tasting, fast and light carbohydrate-rich, low fiber fuel source — the perfect complement to your Hydrogel fueling. Each Solid contains 225 calories and 44g of carbs.
Maurten: 'Solid is our first non-Hydrogel product. That’s a big deal for us. So we stuck to what we know. We listened to science. We listened to the athletes. We distilled it down to the essentials. We focused on performance. The result is a performance-focused oat-and-rice-based chewable. It may look like a bar, feel like a bar, and taste like a bar — but it’s definitely not a run-of-the-mill bar. This is Solid.'
Back to basics. Solid reinvents by removing everything but the essentials. Solid C 225 contains cocoa, offering a taste alternative or flavor reset during training or racing. It’s a fast and light carbohydrate-rich, low fiber fuel source — the perfect complement to your Hydrogel fueling. Each Solid contains 225 calories and 44g of carbs.

Smaakt goed
Just drop it in the bottle and add water. Dissolves perfectly and gives a nice taste and all minerals you need during your ride !
Niet te zoet en werking is goed. Ik heb een week in Italië gefietst in wisselende weersomstandigheden en elke dag een bidon met NUUN gedronken.
Fine tablets, good taste
Niet zoet en vies zoals de meeste en hydrateerd echt goed naar mijn idee
