The term ‘luxury bicycle’ may be an oxymoron in North America, but it sure isn’t in Holland. While many companies blur the line between recreational and performance (putting those baby boomers on hunched-over hybrid bikes), Batavus makes a great bike that has all the features of their classic city bikes but provides a luxurious platform for longer recreational rides. If recreation means a bike path, a bottle of pinot noir and no destination in mind - this is the bike!
