The Velodarlo fleet of dutch bikes comes in 4 makes and styles:
Note: All bikes are insured against theft, come with an insurance-approved D lock, and a choice of basket.
Excelsior
Excelsior: Stylish ladies bikes in red or black, with completely enclosed chain, skirt guard, and basket so you can cycle in your evening dress if you wish. These bikes come with three gears, front hand brake, rear back-pedal brake and a modern, reliable and efficient hub dynamo so you need never think about batteries again.
Strike Bike v1
Strike Bike: When a bicycle factory in Thüringen, Germany, was threatened with closure in 2007, its workers occupied the factory, and sent out a call for cyclists to support them by purchasing one of the 1800 bikes they needed to produce and sell to make the factory viable under workers’ control. Velodarlo bought two of these bikes, and the Strike-Bike Gmbh was born. Today the factory continues in production, under workers’ control. These red ladies’ bikes feature a partially covered chain and basket. They also come with three gears, front hand brake, rear back-pedal brake and a modern, reliable and efficient hub dynamo.
Gazelle
Gazelle: The famous Gazelle range of bikes, manuafactured in Holland, include these Original Dutch models. Velodarlo has one gents and one ladies Gazelle. Both feature enclosed chain, skirt guard, and basket. They also come with seven gears, front and rear hand brake, and a hub dynamo for the front light. The fixed rear light is powered by a battery.
Dutchie: The latest addition to our range, the Dutchie is imported by Dutchie Bicycles, based in London. We had quite a surprise when the bike arrived directly from Holland in a flat pack. But fortunately, members of Darlington Cycling Campaign were around to help build up the bike in no time. The Dutchie has a “sit-on” stand under the rear wheel, skirt guard and rear basket, three gears, and a traditional wheel dynamo for the lights.
