the plain bicycle project

Thank you for wanting to help spread Dutch cycling culture! We can ship pretty much anything within Canada.  Currently only parts, accessories, and Workcycles bikes can shipped to the USA. We are looking for solutions, help us out by filling in this questionnaire.

Comfortable upright bikes for life.

The Plain Bicycle project’s goal is to import everyday cycling culture to North America. We do it one container, hundreds of bikes and one smiling face at a time.

It started with a crazy plan.

In 2017, we reached out to hundreds of people and crowdsourced the first container. Two hundred people signed up for a their very own random omafiets. The rest is bicycle history.

A symbol of cycling for the people.

An omafiets is what some call a Dutch bike and what others call the best bike in the world. To us, it represents the past, present and future of transportation. It is one bicycle for any age, for any ability, for any day. Like an armchair floating through the clouds (but with a fenders), the Dutch bike puts you face to face with your city, and it is the antidote to a continent behaving as though cycling everyday has to be some kind of extreme sport.
