Why The OMAFIETS is The Best Bike On Earth
Welcome Back To The Two Wheeler!
A good Omafiets is virtually indestructible. Our previous bike lasted 15 years and we expect our new bike to last longer. No wonder they are the bike of choice for teenage boys who are notoriously brutal careless with any bike they posses.The flywheel factor. A flywheel is a heavy wheel which once started continues in nearly perpetual motion. So is the Omafiets! Once up to speed in the Netherlands’ famous flatlands the bike will practically pedal itself. We prefer to have a few gears, but have found an Omafiets can be easily ridden without.Easy to repair. Not only are most parts exceedingly robust, but repairs are easily done. Which means they can be affected at home or for a low cost at your local fietsenmaker (bike shop). Even changing the rear tire can be done in half an hour with simple tools.Easy to ride. A good Omafiets is well balanced, even with a passenger on the rear carrier or loaded up with freight.. In this video, we are looking into Why The OMAFIETS is The Best Bike On Earth

You do know they're terrible hills and long distances.
"You can ride up steep hills with this bike."
(not a single hill being shown throughout the entire video)
Healty, save the earth
I have an HVZ Ukraine (soviet urban bike from 1987), and thanks to its upright position its more comfortable for daily rides than most of my newer bikes. If your urban "dutch" bike has gears too, you're golden – you can use it for long trips too if you need to. You dont need some fancy road or touring bike, unless you're planning to race someone on the way.
Thumbs down for stupid computer voice and stealing other people's video footage. Not to mention various information that is simply wrong. Skip this.
I have adapted a 80's mtb to be a single speed omafiet. This is a rugged but still fairly light frame. I found a large saddle with no springs, and a taller stem so that my swallowtail handlebars are above the height of the seat. I have a chainguard built into the chainring. This bike is light enough for my hilly town without too much strain.
