Workplace design Tweewielerhoek Reinier
23. Jan. 2024
•Danique Jans•3 Min. LesezeitWiechel van Heerde has been the proud owner of Tweewielerhoek Reinier in Kampen since 2020. After 20 years of working in the shop, he took the leap and became its owner. Over the past year, several updates have been made to the bike shop, including a complete overhaul of the workshop.
Hi Wiechel, why was it time for a new workshop layout?
"The workshop was outdated. The equipment was aging and needed replacing. The workbench itself was already 20 years old. The compressor was a 10-year-old machine and was placed on a wooden floor, so you can imagine the noise it made," Wiechel explains.
Van advies tot inrichting
What factors did you consider when choosing the new workshop?
"First, you look at what appeals to you—that's very important to me. A PENDLR advisor provided recommendations and gave me confidence. Despite offers from other parties, I chose PENDLR because I've been doing business with them for 20 years—simple as that. I also really appreciate when my loyal customers keep coming back."
"I feel happy when I walk into the workshop now. It’s truly neat, everything is beautifully organized, and it looks so professional!"

What do you think of the end result?
"I feel happy every time I walk into the workshop now. What I like most is how neat it is. It’s no longer a jumble of tools—everything is neatly organized in drawers. It looks so professional. We’re still getting used to putting everything back in its place, but in the long run, it saves time and makes tools much easier to find."
What has the feedback been on the new workshop?
"We’ve received a lot of positive reactions. Customers can see that we’re making upgrades. I think most of them are happy for us and feel that it looks great and very professional."
You’ve also purchased a battery cabinet. How did that decision come about?
"Safety was a key reason for getting a battery cabinet. Our shop is located in the city center, and we also have apartments above us. I also wanted a dedicated place for the batteries and chargers. Previously, the batteries were scattered around the shop. Modernizing the store is important to us, and meeting new safety standards is part of that—and the battery cabinet fits right in. I think it’s only a matter of time before insurers start requiring a battery cabinet in workshops."
