Ever heard of Batavus? Perhaps not. It is the quintessential Dutch manufacturer of bicycles. It is the kind of bike I like to be seen on! And we will be seen on a Batavus we heard today.
Batavus (http://batavus.nl/) has tentatively agreed to supply us with five AM-400 mountain bikes! Negotiations are continuing, but as you can imagine we are ecstatic to be supported by what I consider to be the bike innovator of the world. If only you could see their Dutch range of bikes! Makes me drool!
For our purpose these are the most suitable of their range and we look forward to putting them to the test!
Read all about Batavus on the wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batavus
The next problem, a nice problem to have, is how do we equip the bikes to ready them for the trip? I am sure we will work it out and make the panniers fit the bikes, get a bell, some lights,... we will get this show on the road!
