JP's Dutch-built bike.

Our friend and patron John Paul stopped into the pub last Saturday astride his new Dutch-built commuter bike. I asked him for a photo, and he was happy to oblige:

Verily, you don't see many of these outside the Low Countries ... and often, not even there. It's a three speed, seemingly weighs a ton, and seemed to be giving the rider a supreme workout.

Here's the skinny, as provided by John:

"Dutch (Holland) built, Azor Heavy Duty ... $1,042, plus UPS freight shipping from St. Augustine to Louisville: $189.00."

RAB I thought you would be interested in the bike for hauling beer kegs and two cases of bottles.

I looked at this bike as we left Richo's last Saturday. Sharp looking bike and built for commuting on FLAT ground. The seat tube and head tube angles are very relaxed which should make for stable handling. Notice the fenders, the chain/pants guard, and the flaring over the rear wheel which I have not seen before.

Ed, that beer bike is awesome!

I need to get one for street vending during Harvest Homecoming ...

I have a bike I will donate if Kevin would make it into a keg hauler.
