That was definitely a challenge and an adventure.  I budged for simply donating them.  I looked at a few bike shops for one to buy them back, but most are not really willing to buy bikes given the issue of bike theft in the Netherlands.  We did find one that was willing, and one bike was easy, the second one, not so much.  The bike shop looked it up in a database, and found it reported stolen.  Which led us to find a police station in the Amsterdam, who told us that while it was reported stolen several years previous, it had actually been recovered and returned, still, because it's in the database, no bike shop will touch it, and as a result, we simply gave it to our host.
