Nur als Vergleich in gibts in frankfurt überhaupt Tram Strecken die schneller als mit dem omafiets gehen?

Van de uni Nijmegen richting berg en dal. Richting Kranenburg is ook een hele fijne route (2-3 km stevig bergaf; kun je probleemloos 60 km/h gaan op je omafiets 😂)

An omafiets like that makes any ride impressive.
sad to report that i am now in possession of a bike with gears, making my future journeys significantly less impressive

I love how they are presenting a socialist revolution taking place via bicycles. everyone knows that the omafiets (dutch style city bike or "granny bike") is a vehicle operated by enemies of the state

I once had a single speed omafiets. It was cool, but I'd need a denser city to make it work.

I just like looking at them. I cant own one at this stage in life. I mostly bicycle commute on an omafiets but own a PHEV hatchback. I did own an OG Daihatsu Mira Gino back in Japan.

If you get out into coastal suburbs you see a lot of omafiets with full on aero bars. Very nice if you have a long strait commute that is strait into the wind

It's not called a omafiets for nothing. Modern bikes are different stuff.

"a steel bike at 35 kg CO2, compared to 212 kg CO2 for an aluminum bicycle."
At the high end, my 2 months becomes 17 months, at a very modest level of bike usage. But the Dutch omafiets (or Japanese mamachari) is steel, so we're back down at 3 months for breakeven.

Having a lot of hills might explain why single gear Dutch omafiets are less popular in some places, but it’s 2026 and there’s a bike for nearly every rider and nearly every set of conditions (and before someone well actuallies me, yes I know some bikes are not cheap, that’s a whole different thing)

I’ve nearly fallen a number of times from collisions, and once just losing balance while carrying a spare set of race wheels in my left hand, but every time it was easy to just stand and let the omafiets take the fall on its own.

After travelling through the Netherlands up to Denmark this year, they're embedded in my psyche, I love them, & the general omafiets. I just need the cycle lane systems to catch up in the UK.

Can’t you just start the story with a character shouting “Sacre bleu, omafiets! Schiße!” or something?

I dunno, man. I've fallen on an omafiets when the gears locked and smacked my helmet HARD. I was lucky to have it. :)

Omafiets (Dutch for Grandma bikes) generally come standard with chain guards making them perfect for riding in any attire. 🙂
