Roadster (bicycle)

An opafiets, a single speed traditional Dutch roadster with double top tube and coaster brake

A roadster bicycle[1] is a type of utility bicycle once common worldwide, and still common in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and some parts of Europe. During the past few decades, traditionally styled roadster bicycles have regained popularity in the Western world, particularly as a lifestyle or fashion statement in an urban environment.[2]
