A little impractical in hilly Seattle . . .


. . . but these bikes are amazing. The come from a company called Dutch Bike Co. Seattle, and I found out about them from Cyclelicious. (Photo courtesy Henry Cutler of WorkCycles.)

The Dutch Bike Seattle blog praises Portland and Chicago as great (or soon-to-be-great, in the case of Chicago) bicycling cities. Meanwhile, it rails against the "elitist cycling egos" of Seattle and many other cities.

Amen to that. Anti-elitism is part of the reason why I'm joining RideCivil tomorrow.

If you like Dutch style bicycles you would love the velorbis bicycles. Check them out at http://www.velorbis.com/ Available through Boston based dutchbikes.us

Nothing against Velorbis but they're Danish, not Dutch. Why get a "Dutch style" bicycle when you can get a real Dutch one?... ;-)
