Bicycle, part 2 🚲

[linkfest!]

=> I said I signed up with Swapfiets
=> Ruari mentioned that he was lax with bike maintenance - me too!
=> I didn't link to Swapfiets - here they are
=> Another similar scheme is Buzzbike
=> I also considered buying from Pashley (traditional looking; bit pricey)
=> ...and Gazelle (nice Dutch bikes; almost bought one)

All these bikes are low-maintenance, particularly because of the hub gears, and I am really a "no-maintenance" rider. I almost bought a Gazelle bike, having had a test ride at a shop, but...

• they didn't have the particular one I wanted in a large enough size (I thought Dutch people were tall?)
• the lead time was several months

So I was wondering if I could get a Dutch-style bike. They really seemed like the sort of thing for me.

=> Someone else's blog post about Dutch bikes

So yay, Swapfiets, I think. If I can find find a box/basket to fix to the front rack, I think I'm going to be happy with it.
