Cycle / Bike Hire in Amsterdam
I am planning a short break in October/November to Amsterdam. During this time I want to spend a day leisurely cycling (nothing too intense) to see some countryside sights outside of Amsterdam. I heard that the island of Marken is suitable for such a thing. Not too far, flat and plenty of safe cycle routes. I also realise that it will be getting dark around 16:30 and the weather may be cold.
My questions are:
- What are peoples experiences of hiring bikes in Amsterdam?
- What times can you hire from and return the bike?
- Are there any deposits that have to be paid? Credit card or cash?
EDIT: Slimmed down my questions.

Everyone has an opinion on the "right price" for a bicycle in Amsterdam, ranging from 30-50\u20ac (probably stolen) to several hundred Euros. Personally, I'd say around 100-160\u20ac is a sweet spot where you'll get a bicycle that works perfectly but isn't so flashy that makes it an attractive bicycle for thieves.Where can I rent a cheap bike in Amsterdam?
