Bikes: Working on replacing my stolen Soma Buena Vista Mixte

There are new school dutch inspired bikes like Public and Linus. They have various models ranging from bolt upright to semi upright.

There are stores that import dutch bikes: Clever Cycles in Portland. And Bay Area bike shops like "Street Bikes by Desire."

I added a dynamo to my Public Bike. O-Locks are useless where I live. I test road a Pilen, which is a Swedish bike with all the features. I did the sportier ride.

And I am wrapping up my own build: a Soma Buena Vista mixte with a dynamo and chain guard. There are aftermarket full chain cases as well. I found the partial worked well enough for me and my climate. I also wanted to be a tiny bit less upright. Still have upright bars, but less so than my last bike.
