Girl about town

Recently I've needed to travel around Brighton more and decided the best option would be for me to purchase a bike ideal for cycling around the city. I love the style of the old dutch bikes so decided to buy one of those. There were so many to choose from but I finally decided on the Batavus 2012 Old Dutch Bike. Please see below:



I absolutely fell in love with the maroon colour and cream wheels, saddle and handle bar. I also love the chrome front light. It has been a joy to cycle although I've unfortunately been unable to use it this week due to the very cold weather.

I decided I didn't want a front basket for the bike as I like the chrome front light on there too much. I decided it required something on the back but finding a basket in keeping with the vintage style of the bike proved to be a difficult challenge....I eventually found the perfect case for the back but then discovered the stock from Cycle Chic had been sold out since last year.

After much searching on the internet and trawling through various websites, I finally came across a small bike shop which still had the bag in stock....RESULT! I was so happy, and now my bike feels complete. Below is a picture of this most amazing bag which matches the colour of my bike perfectly!
