Up until recently in Australia, if you asked your bike shop for a commuter bike you would be encouraged to puchase either  a 'mountain bike' (designed to go up and down mountains!), 'flat bar road bike' or a 'race bike'. With most bikes on the market, it is common for the rider to have to purchase a multitude of accessories to cope with the practicalities of using a bike as a serious transport tool. Lights front and rear, chain and mud guards, pannier racks, stands and locks usually are purchased in addition to the bike. Because these accessories are after-market, the fitment and style of these parts is often a comprimise. With Gazelle, you can ride a true commuter bike that has all the accessories you need as standard to cycle in all weather conditions, day and night!

When you ride a Gazelle, you will experience a new sensation that can’t be matched by conventional bicycles. With a relaxed upright position (much safer vision) and highly refined frame geometries, you can ride in comfort and style! These bikes simply glide along. Some say the Dutch are light years ahead of bike design compared with what we are used too.

In the 21st century with petrol prices, traffic congestion, pollution and obesity increasing daily, there is a humble machine that can help overcome these problems…the wonderful bicycle! Every day in Australia, more and more people are rediscovering the benefits of cycling, whether to work, school, the shops or for recreation. Local governments are beginning to invest in bicycling infrastructure which means now is a great time to get on a bike, get fit and have fun. Now that Gazelle has landed in Australia, the beginning of the bicycling revolution has begun.
