That was very nice. It balances the boorish Rapha store I did go into in Amsterdam last April.
Frans reminds me of a bike repair icon here. He fills a similar function and place in the cycling community, albeit much less dependent on bikes as their legs: https://youtu.be/LLR7P5_mvwc His shop has eleven work stand stations, each supplied with tools for folks to do their own work or learn how from him or another person who's next to them working on their bike. I've been there when he's told a post-doc student he's not changing another tube for him, he's going to lean how to do it himself. He sponsors the Christmas bike give away through volunteer repair work, donated bikes and never-claimed impound bikes.
