I commuted on this bike when I was abroad and really liked it. Felt lighter and sportier than the average Dutch upright. I’m looking to find a similar bike in the Netherlands, but so far no luck. Any help with the right terminology is much appreciated.

Model name’s the Papillionaire Classic 3L by the way. Tough to find info as the brand went bust.
A retro commuter.
In Toronto, we’d call that a “vintage cruiser”
What a peculiar bike. Wide handlebars, single speed, panniers. But that top bar is hella aggressive. It’s like a laid back commuter but with a racing frame.
Commuter or Cruiser
I call that a “comfort” or “city” bike. Generally great for commuting with comfort for relaxed riding being a priority.
