No, my grammar hasn’t gone the way of today’s youth. I still know how to spell. There is some hope left for me yet. I’m talking about wood… That sweet-smellin’ stuff you get from trees. Officine Milani Firenze use it to make some hot wooden handlebars for Dutchies or whatever your ride of choice may be. I hear wood is also great for fire.
Okay… This is clearly the best way I’ve ever seen of protecting your bike from theft… By a human that is. A chimp could snatch your dutchie in a snap.

A square bike for a square rider. Cool concept and design but give me the curves of a Dutchie any day.
Done with your Dutchie? Turn it into a flourishing garden of greenie goodness.
I can’t remember ever having created a mess of things, then stepped back and been stricken by accidental beauty. Yet the images below of bike parts, an afternoon’s project and a predicament many of us have been in, have a strong artistic quality about them.
If you’re ever out in Poland on a summer day, be sure to enjoy the miles of bike paths along the Baltic Sea. Gdansk beaches are hardly ever mentioned as a destination spot to Americans. But believe someone who’s been there… It’s worth going again, again and again. Especially considering that you can cross over into the beaches of surrounding cities easily, and these too are equally as breathtaking. Ever-changing scenery and care-free coasting alongside white sands and deep blue hues of the Baltic waters will have you quickly falling in love with this bike trail. If all the peddling gives you the munchies, stop at any of the numerous fresh fish-fry stands or unique ice cream treat carts.

Ok, fine… I know “Dutchie” isn’t a reference to Dutch Bikes, but it’s still a cool song to listen to while riding your wheeled demon down the road. Entertain me for this bit and watch the video.
Give a chimp a banana and he’ll eat for a day. Teach a chimp to ride a bike and you won’t see him again… Suckers!
Lagomorph Design, a studio that mainly focuses on furniture design, is trying its hand at bike frames. And like the furniture, they’re preferred medium is wood. Yep, put the hose away and get the Thompson’s water seal out before taking this little 2-wheeled chariot out for a spin. This city bike would make quite the spectacle on the street.
Horses and bikes combine to bring you a unique print that will look perfect hanging above your dutchie. You do keep it inside, don't you... You animal? Get yours at Big Cartel.
A dapper chap on a dutch bicycle can't be seen with a raggedy backpack or papers stuffed in his slacks. Retrovelo arrives to the rescue. You may tactfully acquire yours at the prim and always proper, Adeline Adeline.
