Product Information

I did consider bars like what you described, but I went with what has been working for me on the other two bikes. Aesthetic - The Dutch style is one of the biggest draws to this style of bicycle, so it’s well worth getting a frame that you’re excited about.

Many Dutch bicycles come in pastel colours or with artful decorations on the frame and chain casing. The curved handlebars offer a comfortable grip and allow you to ride in a more upright and relaxed position, the saddle is wide and has thick padding.I'm tempted to put an Albatross or Dutch-style handlebar on it -- something with a substantial amount of flat bar as well as swept-back grips so I can vary hand position.

This is harder to step over, but it does allow you a more aggressive riding position, which can be helpful if your urban riding includes hills. No matter what modern adaptations you need to your traditional urban bike, wehave a Dutch-inspired ride for you. Whether you're going out for the weekend or cycling across continents, bicycletouring is a community of individuals who share this passion. Frame Shape - Traditional Dutch bikes were built with a wave-shaped frame, which dips down in front of the seatpost so that you can step over the bike easily.Fundamentally, it looks like your bike doesn't fit you, and I don't see a lot you can do to make it fit better. My only point is that when you are braking from high speed, upright bars require you to use hand strength to maintain your position as you decelerate since your palm is moving along the bar, not being pushed into it.
