I used to live in Holland and I loved my upright Dutch bike for the flat city riding I did there. Back in the US I was sure I wanted the same kind of bike. I was dissuaded by multiple people from...

I'm very happy with my Kona Dr. Good. I don't think they have the dealer network of someone like Trek or Giant.

I'm not the expert that many are on this site, but my conclusion when shopping for bikes in this price range is they are all pretty damn similar. This segment is really competitive and they may make...
