Batavus Personal Spirit — 3-speed with Drum Brakes
Batavus has taken their knowledge of functional and dependable urban bikes and designed a practical commuter bike with a contemporary style. In fact, the single speed version of this bike was purchased by New York City to encourage bike commuting programs in honor of the city’s 400th birthday.
The 3-speed gearing and drum brakes gives the rider options for the terrain, and the low step-over means confident starts and stops. A dynamo headlight, integrated locking system, bell, kickstand, saddle bag, fenders, chainguard, and rear rack make sure that you have everything for a reliable commute or a jaunt to the coffee shop.
The bike is available in the 54cm step through style; this design is very adjustable … it will fit riders from 5′4″ to 6′2″ tall. Color options are Dark Blue, Orange, and Flat Black.
Renaissance Bicycles Price: $1200 (plus $50 for shipping to your local bike shop)
Batavus Blockbuster — 3-speed or NuVinci Drivetrain
Burly yet elegant, the Blockbuster is the do-all city bike. A little quicker bike than the classic Dutch styled rides, but just as durable.
With full fenders, chain cover, integrated lock, and many more features for the commuting cyclist, this bike is meant as a daily driver. Ride it, lock it, leave it, ride it again. And if you take decent care of it, your children will ride it, lock it, leave it, ride it again.
Available as both a classic frame (pictured) and a step through frame →
