De FietsFabriek (pronounced "De FEETS-Fabreek") is a young Netherlands bicycle manufacturer that offers a comprehensive line of automobile alternatives for forward-thinking Dutch families who want a friendlier way to get their kids around town.

The two founders, Yalcin Chihangir and Dave Deutsch, joined forces in 2002 to build a more useful kind of bicycle - one that could withstand Dutch weather, maneuver safely and easily in traffic, and be just plain fun. They ended up launching a bike-culture movement, reflecting the needs, tastes, and inspirations of their customers.

The frames are made of galvanized steel and powder-coated so they can be left outside without worrying about rust. Five-speed gearing and smart design make these heavy-duty bikes a pleasure to ride. All over Holland, you'll see young mothers reaching for these bikes first whenever they need to take the kids on an errand. It's just healthier - and a lot more fun - for everyone.

Today, with five shops in Amsterdam and offices on three continents, De FietsFabriek is building devoted relationships with customers who range from young single moms to the Dutch Royal Family.

The cornerstones of the De FietsFabriek brand are unique functionality, superior quality, and an operating philosophy that is grounded in humanity. They build bikes meant to not only last a lifetime, but to change our lives while shaping a future we all want to be a part of.
