2 weeks ago WheelHouse received a giant present in the form of a 40 fott container and dozens of beautiful Workcycles Dutch bikes. These Dutch bikes are handbuilt in Holland by Azor and distributed to us by Workcycles. They are all high-tensiled steel frames that offer and amazingly upright riding position. They are also fully-equipped with a rack, fenders, skirt/coats guards, full enclosed chaincase, and front and rear lights that are p[owered by the 6v 2.4 w front hub. The ride buttery smooth and are designed to last a lifetime. Ride ‘em in your weekend beach wear or in your business suits, they won’t mess up your slacks or skirt. Along with the standard Omafiets and Opafiets, we are proud to introduce the Henry Cutler designed FR8, a bike that gives you the wonderful ride feel of a city bike with enough carrying capacity for you, the kids, and a boat load of groceries. Come on in a take one for a spin, they won’t dissapoint.

Most of the folks that roll through the shop have never seen a box bike before. This is why we encourage people who are curious to take one for a spin around our parking lot. There is definitely a learning curve for most folks when they start charging forward, but once people get the hang of it, it’s all smiles. So next time you are in the shop, give in to that curiosity and take a Bakfiets for a spin.
