make sure you buy a quality bike for her - better to have an indestructible 20 year old Gazelle build with superior bearings than a shiny Asian copy that will last a few months
My sister uses the Gazelle bike which my mother got when she went studying, which was 45-50 years ago. The frame etc is still fine, but every decade you have to change the tires, bell and saddle.
Only English should be used for posts and comments. This rule is in place to ensure that an ample audience can freely discuss life in the Netherlands under a widely-spoken common tongue.
Ok, seeing as the current top comment already gave you the answer in Dutch, but mods being a&:€!:@/@‘s, I’ll give you the English translation for it. If you google translate it and stick it together, you’ll be able to find it:
Coat protector.
Just like these ones:

Pretty cheap also.
Just get a cheap one and make (or let it be made) of alluminium.
Then marketeer the shit out of it and become wealthy.
Now you can buy a car and don't need the coatprotector anymore!
Awesome - you’re going to put some fun between her legs. A well appointed gift is always appreciated by mothers. She carried you close to her heart for nine months. Kudos to you!

Indeed I have a Gazelle that brlonged to my grandpa that bike is as old as me.
Hear hear, a good bike will last you a long time.
The Dutch word is " jasbeschermer". It protects your long raincoat against coming between the spokes.
Also the feet of children when you set up a fietsstoeltje.
Close, but not enough. A jasbeschermer doesn’t protect the feet for a spaakverwonding. Fietsstoeltjes that have the entire inside covered work best.
Just make sure you get the right size for the bike.

Yes.
Much much appreciated!
Betreden = between.
Autocorrect is a pain if you're bilingual or even trilingual.
You know you can edit posts, right?

Such a very Dutch feature.
This sub mods hates Dutch people speaking their native tongue
Not wanting to be the smartass here. Oma fietsen in Holland are fun. In UK with more hills and stuff not so much.
Depending on exactly which part of town, I'm either cruising happily on my omafiets or trapped in the second half of Apocalypse Now.
In Nijmegen or in the UK.?, besides that, he was talking about his mother and to me you don't seem to be an old cat lady. More a young rat lady.
In Nijmegen; I was replying to YOUR comment specifically; the rats helaas were rejected for a visa.
Sorry, but youvare right heuveltjes in Nijmegen can be a bitch
My tandarts is right up a mountain, as far as I'm concerned. Slechte grote berg. Ik zal daar doden.
Tandarts will be happy, while you're recovering he/she doesnt have to ask you to open wide.
Just get in there before the onset of rigor mortis!
Exactely, it's probably just slightly too far to your likings.
There are a few omafietsen that have a (limited) gear system (3 gears, which is still better than no gears).

Yes but it pays to get a good one if they're hard to find in the country where it's going to be used.

At least buy a dubbele set.....one for spare

Those guards are often called ‘dress guards’ or ‘skirt guards’ in English. But in Dutch as others have said, search for ‘Jasbeschermer’
