I'm in love with an old school Dutch fox. The Electra Amsterdam is the manifestation of all my fetishistic dreams of European life: cobblestones and tulips, espresso and stone churches, well dressed men and leather-bound books (stereotypes, yes but indulge me). It's exotic and practical (for Winnipeg, at least--the Amsterdam's three gears will do just fine on our flat streets). It's a marvel in aluminum. I haven't had a bike for about four years; I miss the feeling of the city ticking by, especially at night on quiet streets, velomotion cooling the summer humidity from your skin.
Time to start saving...
(And time to find one for purchase in Canada...)
