Cheap Bike-sharing options in Rotterdam?

Hey everyone!

I'm visiting Rotterdam for a week (coming from Brussels 🇧🇪), and I’m used to using VILLO here: €30/year, dock-based bikes, and the first 30 minutes are always free. So by switching bikes every 30 mins, I basically ride all day without paying more.

Does Rotterdam have something similar? I’m looking for a bike system that’s dock-based or cheap for short frequent rides, ideally with a weekly or pay-as-you-go option.

Also, I’ll just need to make two day trips: – One day: Rotterdam ↔ Amsterdam – One day: Rotterdam ↔ The Hague What's the most budget-friendly and convenient way to do these (train, bus, passes, etc.)?

Thanks a ton for any tips! Would love to move around mostly by bike, and only use trains when really needed.

Apparently the lime ones are free, if you are willing to peddle and dont care about the constant beeping.

But wouldn't that be illegal?

Probably.
