i'm with you and emily!!!Originally Posted by Trek420
I rode my rather heavy milano 57 miles this weekend, mostly on flat to rolling bike paths and city streets. 26 1.5 tires work well on bad city streets and the nexus hub gives me good enough gearing even for hills. a kickstand makes for quick getting off and on frequently and a good front bag carries all i need on a ride like sundays. Simple, reasonably cheap and smile giving....and in some areas of the city i would rather have it stolen than my seven or waterford
Perhaps even a heavy but simple to operate and maintain and affordable bike would encourage more city americans to take more short trips by bike…..the simple functionality of heavy archetypal dutch city bikes have been ridden for decades by all types of people in the most bike friendly European cities on earth.
