The Dutch seem to use bicycles more for everyday transportation with kids and or cargo all on the same bike. So their geometry tends to put you in the more upright sitting position on a big comfy spring cushioned saddle. The very slack seat tube and the slower pace allows for the saddle to be closer to the ground and gives many the ability to stay seated and put both feet on the ground when stopped.

The older style cruiser bikes come real close to being essentially the same. Someone mentioned a Electra Townie, and that is a good example of something close to what you might be wanting. Or are you wanting the things that have the big cargo box in front of the person pedaling the bike?
