Dutch Bike Shop opening in Chicago
Vintage-like Dutch Bike Shop is having its grand opening in Chicago this weekend Oct. 18.
The shop is located on Armitage a couple blocks west of Halsted. They had the door open today and I went in to take a look. Absolutely beautiful Dutch bikes with hub brakes, dynamo lighting, Brooks saddles.
I'd love to see this shop take off and see Lincoln Parkers cruising around on these bikes.
If you are in the neighborhood check it out.

Have a bite at Trotters, and then buy a bike. Sounds like a great weekend. 
What's the retail on the bike? My bet it's less than dinner for two at the kitchen table.

I didn't what to expect. I was like, "meh!" about the dutch products (oma. Opa), but the Paul and Paula are "Uber-cool!" The prices, though, are like, "OMG!"
