One Response to “Torker Cargo-T”
I’d say it’s more than “reminiscent” of the Batavus. It’s hard to see any difference at all in the design, except the components!
I love the way these big Dutch bikes look in pictures, but whenever I see one in real life they strike me as too massive. Sort of the same reaction I have when I step into a sport utility vehicle. I’m all for the idea of sturdy, heavy, long-lasting bikes for urban use, but can’t seem to bring myself to buy one. My loss, I suppose.
