One of the very few Dutch bike manufacturers who still make them in the Netherlands

I got a "spare" bike from my parents after I got into a car crash with my old one and it is a Gazelle. I never heard about them before, but several persons have had a conversation with me about that bike. A lot of people think it is something very special, so I guess I would recommend getting one.

Yeah it's a very famous historic brand in the Netherlands. That have a great reputation for classic Dutch styles like Omafiets ("granny-bike") and modernized variants.

I don't know if the new ones still live up to the reputation of Gazelle, because I've never had to buy a new one. The old ones basically last forever.
