Work Bike, Amsterdam -- New and not black

This is a rare (in Amsterdam, anyway) NEW work bike. Such bikes are left outside in the weather and used daily--rain or shine, the year round. Most of them covered with dents and rust. You see them everywhere, by the thousands. Note the ergonomic riding position with swept back handlebars, which is all too rare here. Note too, the fenders and covered rear wheel, which makes the bike truly all weather. And of course, the heavy duty "work" racks make such a bike truly useful for a wide range of jobs.
