Hi all,
Whilst I'm struggling with osteoarthritis, I still want to ride, so a friend recommended a Dutch style bike.
Whilst doing research, I noticed a member on here has a Dutchie Dapper - mjr maybe ? I can't remember. I've never heard of them, but they look interesting and I'd like to learn more.
Anyway, if anyone can give a review of either of the bikes I would appreciate your thoughts.
I live in a hilly area so 7 or 8 speed is a must, and I like hub gears, low maintenance, dynamos and mudguards ect, which come as standard on these bikes.
The dutchie is a lot cheaper than the gazelle, but is it just as good ? Will it last as long ?
I'll be using it daily for my 5 mile ( total ) commute and for shopping duties so want something sturdy and reliable.
Anyone's thoughts and advice /recommendations would be appreciated.
Many thanks.
