City Bikes

City Bikes are designed to serve and be enjoyed by everyone. City bikes can be ridden on the tarmac and some easy gravel roads. They need to facilitate easy hopping on and off and parking. Carrying things with a rack in the back and space to hang more biking bags is a useful and welcome feature sor commuting in city on your bike.

Loved for many reasons

City or commuter bikes are ideal means of travel around a city. The advantages of using a bike over a car to cover short to medium distances are too many. But let’s mention the most notable ones. The first, that comes to mind is cost-effectiveness, for your own budget and for the environment. It is often even quicker commuting on your city bike during rush hour than taking your car or public transportation. They are perfect for getting to work, dropping off your kid at the daycare, and doing the basic shopping, since they are specially designed to take different biking bags, child seats, and so. All along you get your daily exercise. Great, right?!

Main characteristics

  • The main characteristic and requirement of a city bike are that a rider needs to hold an upright position to have good visibility and to be visible at the same, which ensures better safety. That is facilitated by a shorter distance between the handlebars and the saddle.
  • A city bike is required to have a high-quality lighting system that complies with road traffic regulations. Usually, they come with some lights mounted. Visibility is an important safety precondition.
  • City bikes are very cost-effective. They are cheap to buy and maintain compared to how long they last.
  • If you add a motor, you get an e-city bike that makes riding in hilly cities a breeze.

 A few things to keep in mind

  • Make sure that you can adjust the handlebars, stem, and saddle to your body, it will make a huge difference
  • You can either opt for one made of aluminum or steel. An aluminum city bike is lighter and corrosion free, but the ride is stiff. Steel city bike is heavier and will rust, but it is more comfortable.
  • When choosing tires go for wider if you care for comfort.
  • We recommend the suspension fork, even though it’s not necessary, you’ll thank us later.
  • Bike helmet is a must, and so is a good bike lock.  You may need more bicycle accessories, but those two are indispensable.
