Nowadays they come also painted in other bright colours (pink, light blue, light green), with drum-brakes, and may have three
bike Dutch bicycle gear ratios, integrated in a hub gear.
Outside the Netherlands (for example in Italy) Dutch Bicycle is used with
bike even less precision: they almost always have cable-operated rim-brakes, and bike may have derailleur gears as well. Their wheels are quite large (28 inch – 635 mm), they are painted black with a white-blazoned rear mudguard (fender), and have a coaster brake, also known as a back pedal brake or rod-actuated rim or drum-brakes, (originally they came with a front spoon-brake) bike and just one gear.
Dutch bicycles in the Netherlands mostly called omafiets; (grandmother s bike) are the most popular form of bicycle used in the Netherlands.
In their most classical form, they come with a step-through frame (or loop frame , lady s frame , although they bike also exist with a diamond or gents s frame ) that is suitable for both sexes. Dutch means, in a general way, and very much like the English roadster, a large utility bicycle, definitely not sporty, with a high riding position, a full bike electrical system, racks and/or panniers, used in town or for city-commuters and with generally just one gear.
