Fietsen
Well, I'm shopping for a bike. Someone nipped mine from the garage last Thursday.
Google Answers says that companies like Batavus and Gazelle don't sell in the States because of product liability laws. There's got to be a better answer out there than that. Are the Dutch just keeping a good thing to themselves?
Having ridden one of these bikes, I can say firsthand that they are much safer than a $75 piece of shit from Wal-Mart.
If I was more the entrepeneurial type (or: if I had a load of money) I would take on the challenge of an import business to get these bikes in the US. Spend a few minutes searching the web and you'll see there's plenty of demand--there's lots of people that write 'why don't we have these?'

The bike is gone? That's very bad. Have you talked to Shane at Revolution Cycles (3rd & Blair)? He might be able to put together something very cool for you from their stock of parts.
