stay fresh like the dutch do: royal dutch gazelle



Royal Dutch Gazelle began handcrafting bicycles back in 1892. Known in Holland as the "Mercedes Benz of bicycles," you might know them better as the bicycles that make Amsterdam look like the beautiful city that it is. I actually practiced a form of meditation where one imagines him or herself riding one of these through Vondelpark, staring at colorful Dutch citizens on a bright, sunny day. No longer, as a recent law was passed outlawing this form of meditation from being sold in Smart Shops by self-proclaimed "gatekeepers." For shame. You can still own the bike though.








More Vondelpark!


More Gazelle!
