Again, I got my authentic dutch omafiet for $750 + tax.

They aren't for you, that much is obvious. Why you take so much of what I think is offense about them or the idea of them, is beyond me, however.

I repeat, these bikes are not for you guys. It's not it's fault people live 15 miles into the suburbs or 15 miles from their jobs. The sooner you guys realize that, the less you will find the need to bring it down a peg.
