Comments on: Batavus BUB Review : Sneak http://bikeshopgirl.com/2009/11/batavus-bub-review-sneak/ Helping women find their way in cycling Thu, 29 Jul 2010 15:57:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: mike rubbo http://bikeshopgirl.com/2009/11/batavus-bub-review-sneak/comment-page-1/#comment-938 mike rubbo Tue, 05 Jan 2010 19:53:19 +0000 http://bikeshopgirl.com/?p=841#comment-938 I was happy to see these photos of the Batavius. Keen sport cyclists often seem to ignore the sit-up bike, and yet this is the bike which 90% of people who use bikes as transport and not for sport, in Europe, hop onto if going somewhere. They are just basically so comfortable. They are also safe in that you see better and are seen better. Indeed, I maintain that the upright posture sends a message to other traffic, a stately one, which tends to provoke better behavior, less competitive on the part of motorists who of course one is looking slightly down on, riding such a bike. Have a look at what I hope is a seductive tribute to such bikes. The Waltz of the Bikes. http://www.copenhagencyclechic.com/2009/12/bicycle-waltz.html Cheers, Mike Rubbo I was happy to see these photos of the Batavius.
