<meta charset="utf-8"><div>Most popular citybikes here in Amsterdam, are single speeds with coaster break and the woman models called "Omafietsen" which means "Granny Bikes". They last a lifetime, are super low maintenance and convenient in almost any scenario (<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mindcaster-ezzolicious/4451664881/">even to take a girl on a date</a>!) </div>
