The Vintage Dutch Bike

I have always loved the look of a classic dutch bicycle. When I was a little girl spending my summers in Belgium, I would see women riding around with their bikes and pretty baskets stopping at bakeries and butchers. It was a scene out of a movie, something I never saw in New York. Bikes are not hard to spot in the city these days, and they have changed from a way to just get around to an accessory. In my opinion there is nothing more chic then a well dressed woman on a classic bicycle. Not only are they fashionable but they're healthy!

But how do you choose the right one for you?
