Bakfiets Review

Josef Bray-Ali wrote a great review of a Bakfiets we sold him.

Josef Bray-Ali’s Bakfiets

The whole thing is well assembled, and the paint and finish on the bike make it look like it can take a severe beating from harsh weather and riding conditions.

I’ve ridden close to two hundred miles since it arrived a few weeks ago. I’ve ridden the bakfiets up and down hills, and to the beach and back (which took about two hours each way with stops for cookies and tea). I’ve used it to transport kids, a few (sub-200 lbs.) adults, and whole lot of beer.

I think I’ve found a way to live my life on my own terms. I feel the bakfiets is safe. I know that it is a fun, and civil, way to get around town. As I’ve ridden past gas stations with ever rising prices, I can’t help but feel like I’ve made a good decision.

Read the rest of the review here. Thanks again Josef!

    That is an awesome bicycle! I have to check that one out. Wonder if it is much heavier than an ordinary bicycle? I’m used to my lightweight, 21-speed Miyata, which I’ve had for 13 years!

    PS: I’m also a fan of vintage bicycle posters, I have a page about them on my site: http://www.theposterfinder.com

    Mike, it’s definitely heavier than a lightweight, 21speed Miyata. Think of it as a half-ton truck versus a Mazda Miata.
