Sit Up and beg position
Thus far I haven't mentioned that one of the essences of a town bike isn't just a bunch of equipment that makes it weigh a ton, but the way that you sit upright when riding in contrast to the hunched over the handlebars position used in cycling sport.
It's not conducive to speed, then again, it's not meant to be. I find it comfortable and convenient and it allows you to get a good view of your surroundings which adds to the pleasure of slow cycling - it's about the journey, not the destination.
The most upright riding position is also known as "sit up and beg" as it resembles the position a dog would in order to beg. Mainly applicable to Dutch bikes like my Gazelle: Upright riding position and quite high handlebars.
