05/09/2007: "Dutch Commuter Bikes in LA?"
But that's what I saw this morning on my ride to the office: a handsome middle-aged blonde lady riding an American copy of a Dutch commuter through tony Larchmont Village at around 7:30 in the morning. When I greeted her and complimented the bike, she said, "It isn't fast, but I just use it to go to work."Which it just warmed my heart to hear! Looks like she was riding the Amsterdam, complete with chaincase, skirt guard, generator lighting, fenders, and rack.
Hope to see more of that sort of thing soon!
