So I live in the US and I have seen a few videos proclaiming the virtues of Dutch style bikes including NoJustBike’s video. They all are saying that these bikes cannot be found in the US but couldn’t one just buy a step through frame and just add the missing features themselves such as a chain guard and parallel handle bars?
I use an Electra Cruiser as my commuter.
It is very comfortable and easy to ride. It has a really nice low gear so I just take my time going up hills.
