At Cortego Fietsen, we believe that a bicycle is more than just a means of transportation. For many women, cycling is an essential part of everyday life. Whether you're cycling to work, running errands around town, or enjoying a relaxing weekend ride, a good women's bike makes the difference between "just cycling" and truly enjoying every ride.
As a Cortego employee, I see every day how much care and attention we put into our bikes. We listen to what women truly value: comfort, reliability, design, and ease of use. In this article, I'd like to tell you more about the two most popular types of women's bikes in our range: the city bike and the transport bike . Two models that each have their own character, but one thing in common: they're designed to make your daily commute easier and more enjoyable.
The city bike – smooth travel through everyday life
The city bike has been a favorite among women who cycle regularly for decades. And for good reason. A city bike is designed to be reliable and comfortable, every day. At Cortego, we've reimagined this classic bike with a modern look and smart details that fit today's lifestyle.
Comfort comes first
A Cortego city bike is designed with an upright riding position, allowing you to cycle relaxed and maintain a clear view of the traffic. The saddle and handlebars are carefully aligned to avoid pressure points. Whether you're making a short trip to the station or commuting twenty minutes each day, you'll remain comfortable.
We also use low-maintenance components like a closed chain guard, sturdy mudguards, and reliable hub gears. This not only keeps the bike looking great but also requires minimal maintenance.
Simplicity and elegance
What I personally love about our Cortego city bikes is their simplicity. No unnecessary frills – just a sturdy, stylish bike you can rely on. The frames are available in a variety of colors, from timeless black to soft pastels, so there's always a model to suit you.
The lights are integrated and often powered by a hub dynamo, so you'll never be without light. And thanks to the sturdy frame and stable handling, you'll feel safe and in control, even in busy city traffic.
Ideal for everyday use
The city bike is perfect for anyone looking for a reliable bike for everyday use. Whether it's commuting to work, the supermarket, or visiting friends, the Cortego city bike is your ideal companion. Many women choose a model with a front carrier or basket to easily carry a bag or small groceries – both convenient and stylish.
The transport bike – practical and sturdy
Alongside the city bike, the cargo bike has become an indispensable part of the street scene. This bike originated from the need for extra space and sturdiness and has evolved into a true lifestyle bike. The cargo bike is especially popular among women with active lifestyles.
Robust design with character
You can instantly recognize a cargo bike by its sturdy front carrier. Ideal for carrying a crate, bag, or school supplies. The frame is extra strong, so the bike remains stable even with added weight. This makes it perfect for busy days when you have a lot to carry – from groceries to a sports bag or even a child seat on the back.
At Cortego, we combine that robust look with modern elegance. Our transport bikes have a stylish finish, sturdy tires, and a comfortable saddle. This not only makes the bike look sturdy but also provides a surprisingly light ride. The frame geometry is specifically designed for women, making it easy to mount and dismount, even with luggage on the front carrier.
Practical convenience
What makes a cargo bike so popular is its versatility. You can use it for school, work, or a day out. Thanks to the double kickstand and handlebar lock, the bike stays stable, even when the front carrier is loaded. A small detail perhaps, but it makes all the difference in daily use.
Ease of maintenance has also been considered. Just like with our city bikes, we use enclosed chain guards, sturdy rims, and puncture-resistant tires. This way, you can spend less time on maintenance and more time on what's truly important: enjoying your ride.
Trendy and timeless
Cargo bikes have a unique look. They combine retro elements with modern colors and details. Think matte paint finishes, brown handles and saddle, and subtle logos that give the bike a luxurious look. Many of our customers call it "love at first sight" – and I completely understand why.
Which bike suits you?
Both the city bike and the transport bike have their own advantages, and which one suits you best depends on your lifestyle.
Choose a city bike if comfort and a smooth ride are your top priorities. This bike is ideal for daily commuting, short distances in the city, and trips where you don't need to carry a lot of luggage.
Choose a transport bike if you want to carry a little more, are looking for a sturdy bike for everyday use, or prefer a rugged look. This is an ideal choice, especially for students, young mothers, or women who enjoy combining functionality with style.
At Cortego, we're happy to help you find the perfect bike for you. Our collection includes various frame sizes, colors, and models – from basic to luxury with gears and hand brakes. Each bike is carefully designed, tested, and assembled, so you can always count on quality.
Why choose Cortego?

Every Cortego women's bike is the result of craftsmanship, but also of listening to our customers.

We also believe it's important that our bikes are easy to maintain. Whether you choose a city bike or a transport bike, you can be confident that it will last for years with minimal maintenance.
