They're good for snow due to (1) very few moving parts, so nothing to freeze and brek (2) full fenders/chain guard keep you clean in the slush (3) very wide rims and low pressure inverted tread tires + 30+ kg weight = great traction in the snow with no pinch flats (4) lots of frame clearance so when snow/ice builds up, your wheels will still spin.

Check out the entries about biking and the 5 senses...maybe a little cheesy but kind of cool.
Also, I have a question for J. Why would the Dutch bikes be good for snow? Because of the weight?

One Koga, one Gazelle. They're for shopping and snow mainly, although I rode from Hyde Park to Evanston and back in one of the blizzards last year. It took 6 hours.

I heard there is store opening up in Wicker Park. I heard from the guy at dutchbikesus that they will be carrying Velorbis.

I have a Gazelle. I dont ride it that often.
I have seen one more person riding a dutch bike on Lincoln Ave (few times).

Anyone else ride a Dutch bike (or similar)? I haven't seen any others.

I know my cat would love riding around the city in one with me too.

Dutch city bikes are classy!!! That's all I gotta say about that. I own a vintage Gazelle and typically ride it around the neighborhood (not really long rides). People always compliment me...I mean my bike.

I don't have a Dutch bike...yet!
Mostly I like the idea of bikes as a normal every day way to travel and these bikes symbolize that for me.

I have a 3spd 1953 Hartog, imported directly from Belgium by a family on the North Shore for their kid's birthday. Got it on Craigslist for cheap. Currently has two blown tires that I need to fix, but it's a pretty cool old bike...
