I think you can order those bikes in the US, sans the Ikea logo. I’ll have to dig up the link.

Yeah those are nice rides. I would go to IKEA just to take one for a spin.

Damn! Those bikes are hot, too. Brooks sprung saddles. Long easy geometry.
Totally Frenchie delivery style. Nice.

Yeah, you have to get on the motorway to get to our ‘local’ IKEA (which is not even in this town), it’s not really near any residential areas, and I don’t think you can easily get there by bike.

I heard that some Waitrose (UK supermarket) stores are piloting a bike trailer hire scheme, but our local one isn’t.
