Dutch style bikes are perfect for casual city riding, sight seeing and well, riding slowly. Usually when you are commuting and you have more than a couple kilometers to ride you want to do it faster. Dutch omafiets are really bad in term of aero.

Would you happen to know the age at which Dutch commuters (shopping) start to give up cycling? Do people regularly cycle past 90?

I don't have that exact figure, but the 65+ age group has a higher bicycle mode share than 26-45 and 46-64:

The oldest age I've found is 75, and they still rode 2x per week in 2011.
