Maats Cycling Culture
Maats loves to ride, sharing time together on the bike to connect, to meet new people and catch up with friends. Maats invites you to join our Amsterdam community rides!
What is our Flow Ride?
This ride is meant for everyone who loves to share the passion of cycling together.
If someone is struggling, we'll bring the pace down a little bit. If some people have to wait at a traffic sign, we all wait at the other side of the street. In Dutch there is a saying: “Samen uit, samen thuis”, which means we’ll stick together and leave no one behind, from departure till arrival.
General Rules
Respect traffic rules
What is the level? What do we expect from you?
Although we love all cyclists, Maats Rides might be unsuitable for absolute beginners. If you register for our rides, we expect you to be able to ride continuously (no breaks) for a minimum of 2+ hours on the indicated paces. Experience with group rides is a plus but not a requirement.
Routes:
The routebook for our rides consists of approx. eight fixed routes that are well planned and recon'ed from time to time. Route lengths vary from 60-80km. Routes are designed for variety, safety and an optimal riding experience with groups. Routes will not be adjusted midway unless there are construction works etc. This will always happen in consultation with the ride leader.

The Maats Membership Gravel Series.
Four gravel rides. Four different locations. One shared mission: finding the best gravel roads, trails and local gems the Netherlands has to offer.
This season, the Maats Gravel Series returns with four rides ranging from 70 to 120 km. Expect beautiful gravel, local knowledge, good company and, inevitably, a fair amount of dirt.
📍 Amersfoort — Sunday, October 11
📍 Bergen (NH) — Sunday, November 1
📍 Zwolle — Sunday, November 22
📍 Maastricht — December 19 & 20
We’ll kick things off in Amersfoort, teaming up with local legend V10 to show us the best gravel around town.
Three weeks later, early morning we head north towards the Bergen dunes, where local Floris will take us deep into his backyard. The only challenge? Trying to keep his wheel. Good luck. 😉
In Zwolle, Thijs is back behind the route, taking us across the Veluwe and its finest gravel roads and trails.
And then we head south for the grand finale. We’ll close out the series in the Limburg Heuvelland, with a special Gravel Series x Off The Map weekend in Maastricht. Expect rolling hills, off-road adventure and plenty of Limburg gezelligheid.
Depending on the group and the needs of the participants, we’ll split into different groups riding at different speeds. Whether you’re looking to cruise, push the pace or find something in between there should be a group for you.
Each Gravel Series event has a limited number of spots and is initially exclusively available to Maats Members. If spots remain, aspiring members will also have the opportunity to join.
Curious about the routes? Check them out here for a first impression.

Maats Membership: Looking Ahead to 2026
Maats Membership just turned one! Over the past year we’ve grown towards 100 members, learned a lot, and built a solid foundation for the future.

We’d love to invite you to our Rotterdam store, where we’ll present our plans for the upcoming year. During the evening we’ll share:
Of course, there will also be plenty of time to ask questions and share your ideas — we’d love to hear your thoughts on how we can further shape Maats Membership together.

(Members Only)
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 September 29th.
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.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This event is only available for members. Not a member yet? Become one to join this (and future) events!
