Outrage 2

Oh why, oh why is it so difficult to find bikes with coaster brakes in the UK? I spotted this very nice Batavus at the lovely Dutch bike shop in Littlehampton, but unfortunately the colour doesn't suit me.
I scoured the Internet and eventually found the Dannebrog by Velorbis (Danish design and German construction).
However this Danish beaut is maimed for the Brit market by swapping the coaster breaks for drum breaks. An outrage!
I checked with my local bike shop Robin Cycles in Bordon and yes there is no option but to apply direct to the factory.
So who put me onto these chic amongst chic bikes? Why a great little site called copenhagencyclechic.com of course! The Times and The Guardian got there before me. But if you are keen to start cycling without losing you streetwise style then this is the site for you. Go to the list of posts for a run down of the best Nordic bikes and browse the spin-off sites all over the world. .
