I don't think they're saying hills make cycling impossible, I think they're saying Dutch-style bikes are not the best tool for the job if you live somewhere hilly.
Most of the features of a Dutch-style bike are absolutely great for cycling as transportation regardless of your location, but riding a heavy steel frame with limited gearing? It's absolutely fine if you ride somewhere mostly flat, but it isn't a well-adapted bike for inclines.
thats the thing. they're awsome to ride on smooth, flat places
Just the city you live in would be enough ;)
I want one. I'll have to look up that place in Winnipeg. That sounds promising
This is cool and all if your country is flat as a mirror.
it’s more about infrascruture than having the perfect conditions
