Is! And a large one at that. They are
everywhere in NL, as they make all kinds - city, commuter, racing, ...
In fact, I am surprised that I
never see one here unless it is being ridden by a Dutch person. Now any time I see one I automatically say hello to the rider in Dutch - it leads to some interesting conversations.
