Shopping for a bicycle

Two weeks ago I went to a bicycle store on H Street to take a second look at a bicycle that I had seen there. Jaap was there also and it was nice to get his advice. Nora looked around at everything and I had her sit on the Dutch bike for a little bit.

The bike we looked at was an Oma bicycle from Gazelle. It was a 51 cm frame -- too small for me -- but already felt awesome. So much nicer than the leaned-over style of riding. The largest Oma frame Gazelle has is 57 cm which is still a little too short for my 6'2 length, so ultimately I decided not to get a Gazelle. I found a store in Amsterdam that builds great bicycles and ships to the United States for a reasonable cost. So in two months or so I'll see the new bike appear

Hi Guus,

Goed bezig... Are you the only one with a bike there?

I also ordered a new bicycle from Gazelle. An electric one. Most of the times I have headwind when I bike to my work...

Need to order a new rainsuit also. Because we had quite a few downpours last weeks.

Ha Gerben,

Gelukkig ben ik niet de enige hier. Arlington heeft redelijk wat fietsers -- veel beter dan waar we eerst woonden in North Carolina. Maar ja, het is niet zoals in Nederland.

Ik stuur je even een mailtje.

Groet,
Guus
