In early spring 2023 it is five years ago that we opened our doors to our current Maats Amsterdam store. To celebrate this we have designed a special celebration short- and longsleeve t-shirt collection.

For these shirts we have joined forces with creative designer and avid cyclist Roel van Eekelen. Roel created an illustration for us with different topics that represent Maats, such as: rides, community, coffee, pizza and, of course, a touch of Amsterdam.

• 100% Combed Organic Cotton
• High quality longsleeve t-shirt made of heavy cotton (200 grams/m2)
• Maats logo on the left chest and large print on the back

Product-id: MTS014-TEA-XXL

In spring 2025 we proudly present a special edition t-shirt to celebrate the opening of our brand new Maats store in Rotterdam. After Amsterdam and Utrecht, it was only a matter of time before we brought our cycling culture to this dynamic city. And of course, a special design couldn't be missing.

Once again, we've teamed up with creative designer and avid cyclist Roel van Eekelen. For this edition, Roel reimagined his original artwork and gave it a distinct Rotterdam twist. You'll find references to iconic local highlights such as the Erasmus Bridge, the Maastunnel, and the ever-present seagulls chasing your post-ride fries at the harbor. As always, the illustration represents everything Maats stands for: cycling, community, coffee, clubhouse—and now also a hint of raw Rotterdam energy.

• 100% Combed Organic Cotton
• High quality unisex t-shirt made of heavy cotton (220 grams/m²)
• Maats logo on the left chest and large print on the back
• Available in two colors.
• Now available in our RTM store and online.

EVENT IS POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

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. On this page you can find all the info about the events.

Midsummer Race - Friday June 30

When you think of bike races you automatically come to club races. Individual, performance driven and straight home after the race. We think it would be cool to make a combination between racing and also a bit of community and fun. That is why we organize a Midsummer race on friday evening, followed by a bbq and some drinks with friends. 

We gather at 19:00 at sports park de Weren in Amsterdam Noord. After a short ride briefing, we ride as a group for a warm-up period for 30 minutes. After ringing the bell, we ride a race of 60 minutes for the men and 45 minutes for the women (combined in one race). Afterwards prize ceremony, beers and burgers from the Maats Bus.

Don't feel like racing but want to watch and cheer on the riders? Buy a Spectator ticket for cheering and the bbq.

For who is this race? For all Maats customers/community members who like to race and test themselves on a closed circuit, with or without race experience.

Dropping - Saturday Oct 14

This is a new event based on a typical Dutch concept: a dropping. Imagine a departure in the early morning hours with a touring car to an unknown destination somewhere in the Netherlands. There are two pickup locations: Amsterdam & Utrecht. When you arrive at the location, your bike will be waiting for you and you will receive the location of the first checkpoint.

Once you’ve reached the first checkpoint, the location of the next one will be revealed, and so on. Five checkpoints later and about 150km further you will arrive back at our Amsterdam store where we will draw up the results. This event is not just about speed; route skills, navigation and the ability to improvise will play important roles. Eternal glory awaits at the finish line...

Monday August 26th, 10:00 Maastricht

When we started Maats a few years ago, Monday was our only day off for a long period. Because we started Maats from the love for cycling, there was always riding that day. On the day when most people were in the office or at work, we rode our bikes every Monday. Maats Monday was born.

In recent years we rode some cool routes during Maats Mondays. We often got the question from people if they could join. Thats why we are organizing the Maats Monday: Limburg Edition, on Monday August 26th.

This year we organise this Maats Monday classic in collaboration with our friend from Off the Map. A brandnew bikestore in the center of Maastricht that is recently opened and the place to go for a new bike, repairs and a fresh new Canvas kit. 

Would you like to ride with us on Maats Monday? Take a day off, buy a ticket and arrange your transport to Limburg. We'll see you there for a wonderful day of cycling.

Details

• 10:00 gathering at Off the Map Maastricht with coffee
• Approx. 140 km route through Zuid-Limburg, with a lot of (punchy) hilly climbs in different groups (also shortcut possibilities to shorten your ride by 20-25km)
• Including: Coffee before the start, lunchstop halfway and Pizza and Beers at the finish at Off the Map
  
• Costs €45 per person, ticket required
• Max 35 participants

After booking a ticket we send you a briefing a few days before the event.

Monday, April 14th, 10:00 Oudenaarde

IMPORTANT NOTE: This event is only available for members. Not a member yet? Become one to join this (and future) events! 

Previously, Mondays at Maats were always dedicated to a bike ride with the crew since our shops are closed and for most people the new work week starts. Out of love for cycling we always wanted to spend this day well by going for a nice loop: Maats Monday was born. 

Last year, we organized the very first official Maats Monday for our community in Limburg, which was a huge success. It was a beautiful and unforgettable day on the bike with a big group of our community.
That left us wanting more! So this year, we’re heading to the heart of Belgian cycling for the second edition, which will be a Member Exclusive Event: Maats Monday: Flanders! 

On Monday, April 14th, we start in Oudenaarde, which is the beating heart of the Flanders region. Expect an epic ride over the legendary climbs and cobbles of the Tour of Flanders.
Want to be well-rested at the start? There is an option to book a hotel room at Hotel Leopold in Oudenaarde for the night of Sunday, April 13th to Monday, April 14th. Costs for a hotel room is €125 (single) or €145 (double), breakfast included. 

Want to join us for Maats Monday? Take the day off, sign up through the link, and arrange your stay in Oudenaarde (optionally). We promise you an unforgettable day on the bike!
