Interesting article, with data, about how much the Dutch actually ride

Who wants to take longer utility rides on bicycles that are designed not to

Yes, that's why secure parking is necessary. It's not that hard to do. A
car parking space in a multi-level above-ground parking garage costs
$40,000-50,000. Underground it's even more.

Where did that come from. I can't find such a bike anywhere.

I bought a drop bar Motobecane Mixte for the spousal unit and spent
another $150 converting it to upright bars.
