Dutch Bikes - Civilised Riding - Courtesy of the New York Times Style section

The Dutch bicycle is increasingly imported to the United States and is starting to be seen on the streets of New York. In Amsterdam riding a bicycle to work in a suit and tie is as notable an act as drinking a cup of coffee. David Colman explains why this vehicle is so fashion friendly. Nice article, and pics of cool bikes, on civilised cycling around town.
