Dutch in Orem
15 November, 2008
I had to run a quick errand at lunch today, and while stopped at a red light saw a cyclist on the other side of the intersection riding the opposite direction. I immediately noticed his bike because it looked very similar to mine. I yelled across the intersection to ask him what it was and he yelled back that it was a Dutch bike. It looked very much like an Azor from Henry Workcycles. I don’t know if it was or not, but it was very refreshing to see someone other than me riding such a dignified bike around the streets of Orem. I hope I see more of that kind of thing in the future. I also hope I see this man again soon. I’d like to talk with him and see his bike!

That is awesome about the Dutch bike i will keep my eyes peeled for him. I have been noticeing more and more here in provo a better sense of cycle chic and it is definately refreshing to see nice even original bicycles instead of your standard BSO (bicycle shaped object) from Big Box Mart. On the note of dutch bikes some of our friends that we are educating in the way of the bicycle saw your wife (Brad) the other day and were so stoked to see a bakfiets in real life. Also thanks for the post.
