Workcycles began in 2003 when Henry Cutler, an American ex-pat living in Amsterdam, decided to put his skills in industrial design to use by designing and making the most practical, comfortable, durable, daily-use bikes in the world. Workcycles is now famed for many of its unique, problem-solving designs, but the company also sells bikes that are essentially modified and improved versions of classic Dutch bikes.

The Workcycles Secret Service Step Over is the "sportiest" model of bike that the Dutch company Workcycles makes. We're using the term "sportiest" liberally. The Secret Service is still a hefty Dutch bike, but it is specifically designed with a modern riding geometry thanks to its thinner tires (28" x 1.40"), tighter wheelbase, partially swept back handlebars, and steeper head tube angle. Yet like all Workcycles, the Secret Service is durable, comfortable, upright, and capable of riding daily on rough city streets throughout all four seasons. It makes an excellent bike for those with a moderate length commute and/or slightly hilly topography on their route.

The components on the bike are noticeably the same as nearly every other Workcycles bike we sell: a Shimano Nexus 8 speed internal gear hub, Shimano roller brakes, a Shimano dynamo hub which powers front and rear LED lights, a fork spring to steady the front wheel when parked on its double-leg kickstand, and a fully-enclosed chaincase. The sturdy rear rack and full-coverage fenders complete the ensemble of useful features, ensuring you can carry your goods in panniers or saddlebags.

The Secret Service comes standard with a frame mounted front carrier rack. This unique feature can be removed/installed within seconds so you can leave it at home if you don't need it. Due to it's frame mounted design it is capable of carrying more weight than a typical handlebar/fork mounted front rack. And since the weight is supported by the frame of the bike it doesn't impact the steering and your handlebars will not flop around when your bike is parked on its kickstand.

We were looking for an authentic "Dutch Bike," and found Jon and his shop, determining he was our region's distributor. Jon and his staff are brilliant, patient, and full of great advice on these bikes. I am a former Cat. II-III racer (over 30 years ago), and my take on "bikes" is based solely on weight and angles, etc., "racing components" and the like. After time spent in Europe (Holland, in particular), we've learned those principles are a bit "off" when buying a "Euro"commuter bike, and that's as it should be! Jon has all the best marquees and the best accessories, and he and his staff are the best at fitment, outfitting, and advice. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon to buy my wife a Dutch style commuter bike, and Jon and staff were up to the task! They helped us select, test ride and outfit the right bike (a Work Cycles "Secret Service") and even get it into the station wagon for transport without even a front wheel removal! They were so helpful and patient with such great experiential advice, I cannot compliment them enough. They helped us get the right accessories (front rack and cargo crate!), and they even talked us out of expensive accessories we thought about, but didn't really need. This is a business and a business model that we respect and admire and will continue to patronize. And, as if that weren't enough, we've also found that Jon and JC Lind's prices are significantly less than other resources we looked at for these same bikes. For example only: One of the few other places in the US we found that could get the bike we bought was listing it for at least $400.00 more, plus shipping costs of about $350.00 with the same fitments! So, not only do you get first class service and courtesy with JC Lind, you get the best price, too. All in all, a great company and people to deal with in a great shoppe in a great neighborhood in Chicago, and a brilliant deal with Jon! He has our endorsement for the the best Dutch bike dealer and a great merchant! Hats off to Jon and JC Lind! The kind of bike shop experience that's "olde fashioned" and all-too-rare these days! Wishing them long term success and prosperity! We'll be back for more!!
