Abstract
With the distinct impression that cycling is simply part of the DNA of Dutch cities and people, it’s easy to overlook the fact that one particular pedal-powered machine has not enjoyed the same enduring ubiquity as the omafiets and opafiets. For outsiders, it would appear that the traditional bakfiets (“box bike”) has long been a staple of family life in the Netherlands, but in fact, the popularity of these impressive hauling machines is a relatively new rediscovery of an almost lost and forgotten design.
