My only bike is a '90s Dutch omafiets. Rack, fenders, frame lock, fixed lighting, chain case, coaster brakes, single speed and riding comfort for days. I've replaced nearly every part on this thing myself since I bought it used.

Not for everyone depending on local terrain, but if you live somewhere flat I couldn't recommend it more.
