I'm visiting my parents who live near a fee paying school and the number and size of the SUVs (badly) parked on the road at school pickup time is staggering. So many Porsche and BMWs (the X6 is egregiously big). Saw one of those Mercedes jeep things, don't think it had seen anything more off-road than a bit of pavement to park on.

Still been looking at getting a bike from a dutch company since purchasing a dutch bike, shipping it across ocean and land, is about the same price as buying one locally but not nearly as nice.

Go post in the bikes thread, people love finding bikes. I doubt that shipping a Dutch bike internationally is going to represent very good value for money

The thing is shippign is like 200 bucks but the cost of the bike is the same as a local bike but the dutch one is just a higher quality. Unless I am looking at a walmart bike.

Have you looked at https://plain-bicycle.myshopify.com/ They import actual Dutch bikes from dutchland and sell them for a reasonable amount. I haven't looked at it beyond remembering it exists so i don't know what shipping or customer service is like

Dutch bikes aren't even especially good or anything. They're a fairly practical design but part of the reason that style of bike is popular in the netherlands, japan, etc. is just because they're cheap and people are leaving them for extended periods without u-locks and/or leaving them at train stations for one end of their commute without having to worry about them that much. Having the infrastructure in place where that type of inexpensive, practical bike is needs-suiting is the go-to style of bike is something to aspire to but it's not like they're magical superbikes or something.

Dutch bikes are easier to maintain, have chain guards and mudguards, often nicer kickstands, the stepthrough frame and high handlebar position allow for more clothing options while riding, and are very aesthetic. They're not the best for hills, but if you think you're more likely to ride/use a Dutch bike than a non-Dutch bike, that alone is a good enough reason to get one.

There is no reason to think that the recumbent bicycle gene that kicks in when a man reaches a certain age is independent from the moron gene.

Road the bus the other day to a board game night with new friends. The bus route stops after 9pm so I had to ride a Divvy bike back home at like midnight. Worked out pretty well and the traffic was pretty low so it was a solid ride. Saw a good number of other cyclists too, they were passing me because ride share bikes have bad gearing and weigh like 50lbs, but I will probably do it again.
