Peace Bicycles Dreamer Step through 7 Speed D from Peace Bicycles on Vimeo.
A Beautiful Step Through bike. We're proud of the amazing reaction our designer Dreamer Step Through bike gets in the streets thanks to its flawless vintage look, unusual signature colors, ergonomic frame geometry, color-coordinated details and luxury balloon tires. Getting on and off is a breeze with a classic Dutch style step through bike frame design.
This model is also available in two optional packages: Bike with Basket (accessorized with baskets) and Beautiful Bicycle (accesorized with bags, panniers and other details).
What is a step through bike?The step through bike, also known as the low-step frame or open frame, is a bike that features a low or non existent top tube. The step through frame was traditionally known as a womens, ladies, or girls frame mostly because of the bikes' ease for riding while wearing dresses or skirts. Bike designs with a top tube, also called a Diamond Frame Bike, were known as gentlemans, mens or boys. The concept that this is a woman's bike just does not hold true anymore. These days it is common to see men riding a step through bike frame bike and women riding a diamond bike frame as each is simply a matter of preference. A step through bike offers many advantages that are quite unique. For the rider looking for an easy mount and dismount, the step through offers a perfect solution. This makes it great for a ride that has many stops. With this type of frame there is also less risk of ripping or stretching your clothes when getting on and off while wearing a skirt or dress pants. This is especially true thanks to the skirt guard and chain guard included standard with each bike. These kinds of bikes are also great for elderly as they're easy get on and off. Also, in the situation where a rider loses balance, they can step through the bicycle without becoming intertwined.
Power. A 7-speed transmission lets you quickly accelerate from start, go fast and climb hills easier.
Commute and Cruise. Take this city bike out on a fashionable cruise through town, down a grassy path in the countryside, to the beach for a day of sunning, or for your commute to work. But beware ... heads will turn!
Fully-equipped. The Dreamer Step Through bicycle comes fully equipped standard. To keep your clothes clean, there are fenders, custom chain guard and a custom spoke-guard. For your utility, there is a rear rack with spring clip for carrying things / pannier bags around. Having all these features standard saves you shopping time, money and lets you start commuting the same day.
Safety. For your safety, we included front and rear battery-powered lights to increase visibility at night, and a beautiful golden bell for whizzing through a crowded city. A pair of dual action caliper brakes assures fast, reliable braking. Plus the reflective strips on tires will make you more visible at night.
Comfort. Achieving maximum comfort is one of our main goals, so we built a high-tensile steel frame that absorbs the road better and along with the raised handlebar allows for upright riding position to save your back. A custom vintage spring-loaded saddle will keep your buttocks comfy and Schwalbe Fat Frank Balloon tires will allow for a comfortable ride even on unpaved/potholed roads. At 34 pounds, it's also lighter than most fully-equipped Dutch Bikes. There is also a kickstand for easy parking. Learn more about why Dreamer Step Through Bikes are some of the best comfort bikes on the market.
Quality. The quality of our bikes can be seen in many elements including polished frame welding, stainless steel hardware, 3-layer paint, Shimano transmission, and Schwalbe Fat Frank Balloon tires made with puncture proof Kevlar guard, the highest quality balloon tires available.
Great Attention to Detail. You'll also love the attention to detail we put in the designer metal 3D headbadge, color matching grips, saddle with engraved logo and pouch hinges, and bell with engraved logo.

I am so pleased with my Dreamer Step-Through. It is so comfortable to ride. The seating position is gentle on my back and neck and the pedaling is almost effortless. Additionally, it is such a beautiful bicycle. People on the street shout out to me, “Nice Bike!” “Beautiful Bike!” AND, it’s lightweight enough that I can actually lift it into my pick-up truck bed and lift it out (and that’s saying REALLY LIGHT.) It makes me smile a lot!

I was hesitant about a peach colored bike but I am so very happy that I tossed all cares to the wind and bought one anyway. It can really grow on you, you know? I love everything about this bike and when we are together we blend effortlessly into one!

I am very much enjoying my cream colored Dreamer Step-thru model. While production on the initial run ran way past the delivery date, it is not uncommon in a manufacturing process to experience this. The long wait was worth it! Yes – you will constantly get comments. Lock your baby up with a quality lock. Aside from the visuals, I live in a very hilly community and I appreciate the 7-gears that transition pretty smoothly. Important: I have MAJOR back issues and have been thru surgery, etc. I will tell you that I am able to ride my Dreamer comfortably. The upright position really is helpful. I had troubles with my light not working but I was sent a replacement pretty quick. All in all, I would make this purchase again.

Not only does this bike looks nice but it rides nicely for a commute or general biking. I added a basket and carrier bag that fit nicely. I am impressed with the seat because when you ride over a bump or roughness, you don’t feel it. It was easy to put together. It has two lights, front and back which can be turned on or off. I received a lot of compliments on my first ride of 10 miles.

my bike is for exercise, grocery runs, visits with friends, riding with friends, and because I love to ride, alone most times. only activity that makes me feel free as a bird – as if I’m 10 once again !
aspects: name…who could resist anything with the possibility of peace?
for dreaming, whether a precursor to execution of a dream or
plain wistful dreaming — like breathing. no spandex, living and riding in whatever garment of the day. it’s nostalgia…… without a tinge of
feeling manipulated…….aesthetically — lots of energy for an inanimate object 🙂

Just bought this bike to do as the Dutch do and ride my bike to the store etc. without getting my pants stuck in the chain. Puts your body in a comfortable position. It is very cool looking and smooth and fun to ride. Makes me smile. I purchased a Nantucket basket from amazon as well for the authentic look and function. Bike Arrived in just a few days. Love it!
