From NBC Chicago:
An Oak Park man fell in love with the biking culture in the Netherlands and brought some home with him. For the first time in North America, you can get a De Fietsfabriek and go green with your commute.
My only note: why did they cut the last 20% of the chain guard off?? [...]
After dropping Les & Helen off at their hotel in the Jordaan neighborhood, I pedaled over to my friend Mark’s house to catch up on the latest and ‘watch him eat and fix his toilet’ (sounds like an insider’s joke, but it’s actually true).
His house is basically one big social hub, many people walking in [...]
Gusty winds and rain all day today, only 1 day after the official end of summer, like clock work. Not that it matters much to most cyclists, they’ll keep riding from A to B. Not even the kid cruising along with his dad in his bakfiets, going home from the supermarket. Just like I did.
Meanwhile, [...]
My buddy Zenuno (thanks, man!) just sent me these ultra cycle cool photos he shot with his phone while going down the Singel canal, depicting the Fietsfabriek’s next step on the bakfiets extravaganza ladder of cycle evolution. Or should I call it ‘Party of 5′, or ‘Limo’s are so 80’s’, or…(insert your own caption).

Today I oozed to the other side of town to meet Henry Cutler of Workcycles. Up until today, we had only briefly talked on his blog and exchanged some e-mails. He’s an American expat with Dutch heritage (and closer to ‘home’ than I thought, because apparently he’s a far removed cousin of Michael Schaap, [...]
Today I biked over to the Vondelpark to see if the announced ‘Mama Bakfiets Race’ would be as much fun as the title promised it to be.
Organized by Viva Mama Magazine as a charity event for OrangeBabies.nl (donating medicines to pregnant African women with HIV, thus reducing the chance that the infants are born with [...]
Henry from Bakfiets already layed it out in a comment on Dutchbikeseattle:
If I may be a bit obsessive here, there is already a verb for riding a bakfiets: “bakfietsen”. In its infinitive form its spelled the same as the plural noun but would be conjugated into:
- ik bakfiets (I cargocycle)
- hij/zij bakfietst (he/she cargocycles)
- wij [...]
