During the bike boom of the Seventies the U.S. imported thousands of European three speed bikes. The comfort and simplicity of these bikes and the fact that they are built to last four life times make them objects of pure beauty. The Dutch ride bikes--I won't go on and on at this time about how they are better than us because of this and about how fat our kids are 'cuz we drive them to school--maybe in some other post. The point is that after decades of using bikes for transportation, a style of bike remains that is called "Dutch" and it deserves our attention.
These Birias are ideal for rides of zero to 20 miles or so and the rack combined with a bag or two will carry groceries for a few days, a lap top, school books, etc.
