I Want To Get A Commuter Bike

By Roger Hammer


I have already been doing a little research on choosing a dutch bike in Calgary. Their aren't a lot of shops that carry a decent selection of Dutch Style bikes as the bigger shops either seem focused on road or mountain bikes. Not necessarily finding precisely what I wanted at the bigger shops which I usually visit, I made use of Google to get started on exploring the different brands and models available.

My motive for purchasing a Dutch bike should be to merely have a quality bike to ride around town. That's the real value with the Dutch bike from my perspective. The upright riding position, comfortable saddle and just relaxed style generally seems good for cruising over to the coffee shop.

The number one bike that really caught my curiosity is a Brooklyn Cruiser single speed called the Bedford. Contemplating the way I am likely to make use of the Dutch bike coupled with the sort of riding that I need to be able to use it for, I am thinking the single speed Dutchie might be all that I require.

The Brooklyn Cruiser web page talks about it actually being the perfect ride for all sorts of people. Perfectly suited for peddling around the bicycle paths, commuting for work, delivering newspapers or more simple needs like mine. The best steed for a little free spirited cruising or merely heading out to grab an espresso.

No dropped handlebars or lightweight seats here. The large saddles and Bullhorn bars combine with cushy tires for a comfortable ride and exactly what I don't have in my collection of bikes.

The Linus Roadster Classic may be the other Dutch style bike which I appreciate. It is also a single speed but possesses a little sportier appearance and feel than the unit from Brooklyn Cruiser. Linus describes it is as elegant bicycle in its purest form. Stripped down, clean and profile inspired by the bikes of the past. I really like that and I agree with their description. It certainly has clean and sharp minimalistic lines.

While narrowing my search to these two over the internet, I was also able to find a local boutique shop in Calgary that features a full line of Dutch bikes and commuter accessories. After going through this online process with virtually each bike that i've ever owned, I know that I will likely not have the ability to make a choice until I have a test ride to get a good feel which bike is good for me.

BikeBike is the best place to go in Calgary for Dutch Bikes, Cargo bikes and, like I said, anything that you might need for commuting or recreational urban cycling. I recommend you check them out.
