Always wanted a genuine Dutch bike? Well, now you can!
*Plain Bicycle: What is the goal? * To find enough interested people to fill one shipping container with refurbished “plain” Dutch bicycles to bring back to Canada. If it works, repeat as necessary/desired.
*Why? *There is something simple and beautiful about a Dutch bicycle. It is embodied with a sense of civilization and freedom. It goes hand-in-hand with a bike-friendly city. In other words, the purpose of the project is to foster a shared understanding of what everyday cycling means, what it looks like and to help simplify the discussion around what “bicycle culture” really is. Cycling is for everyone. It is to mark a beginning. It is a toast to the bicycle infrastructure being built in Winnipeg and all across North America.
