Old Dutch Classic - a photo on Flickriver

Old Dutch Classic

            Though the ladies' version of the roadster bicycle largely fell   out of fashion in England and many other Western nations as  the 20th century progressed, it continuously remained popular in the Nether-lands right to the present day. In the Dutch language the name of these bicycles is omafiets ('grandma bike'), a term which has been in use since the 1970s. The omafiets is a national icon, and is even used by men in the Netherlands; this is why some people refer to bicycles of this design as Dutch bikes. The classic omafiets is still in production in the Netherlands and has changed little since 1911: it comes with a single-speed gear, 711 mm × 38 mm (28 in × 1+1⁄2 in) wheels, black painted frame and mudguards, and a rear skirt guard. Modern variants, be they painted in other colours, with aluminium frames, drum-brakes or multiple gear ratios in a hub gearing system, will all conform to the same basic look and dimensions as the classic omafiets.
