glamor moms or not, ole gorge bliss builds beautiful nyc bakfiets! in this must watch video, the Sean Patrick Farrell profiles (aka @SpokesNYT) one mother and her two daughters as they ride around town doing everything they would normally do on a train, in a cab or behind the wheel of a gas guzzler…

i can’t wait to see more bakfiets in nyc. over the last year alone, there’s been a proliferation of shops selling dutch bikes and other urban/city bikes. while the racing and hipster crowd bemoan their existence, i am ecstatic!

if you’re looking for that carry all bike, there are four locations to get bakfiets.

Adeline Adeline – TriBeCa, which features Workcycles, built in NL
HUBStation – West Village, which features modified Worksman Cycles, built in NYC
Rolling Orange – Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, which features De Fietsfabriek, built in NL
Bolognabikes – Brooklyn, hand-built frames built to your specifications.

be seeing you…
