The Meaning of Luxury

"Bak" means box, "fiets" means bike -- the bike with the box. This is a Country Squire station wagon. Buying a Bakfiets is not for the wishy-washy. It demands a commitment. A commitment, not because it's expensive, but because it will change your life.

The Bakfiets will challenge your perceptions of time, fashion and utility. If you are always in a hurry, you cannot afford the luxury of a Bakfiets -- the luxury of traveling at your own pace. You will become a stronger cyclist riding a Bakfiets, yet you'll not need to or care to dress like one -- the luxury of not being attached to your investment in cycle fashion or status. You will amaze yourself with all of the things you can, and want to, do with the Bakfiets -- the luxury of thinking outside of the box.
