Daily Mail ‘On your bike’ article

July 22nd, 2010

The Daily Mail Femail magazine today gave a massive full page article talking about the benefits of dropping 4 wheels for 2: help the environment, save on travel costs and drop a dress size.

They recommend a number of Dutch bikes, including: – Carolina (best all rounder @ £449.00) and the Azor bike (the best for vintage charm @ £836.00). They discuss the wonderful virtues of owning a Dutch bicycle with its high, swept back handlebars meaning you sit up straight with your tummy tucked in and your head held high.

Well, the good news is that we can sell you a similar bicycle for a fraction of the price. We have stunning Dutch bicycles to suit every size shape and requirement, starting at just £154.95

Comfortable – They have improved road surfaces along the route so you can pedal more comfortably.

Easy to find – Each highway will have a clear and unique identity.
