Love it! A bit out of my price range but seems like that’s the cost of a really good, sturdy bike–particularly if you want the special capacities that this one has to offer.
I saw a less heavy-duty, but also hybrid/commuter bike with fenders, chain guard, etc (that kind of ‘package’ of accessories) with big rack over front tire for carrying a couple/few bags of groceries, at a local bike shop. It was going for $550 on sale.
I was very very tempted. (but kind of broke as far as that kind of expense). But glad to see more of such bikes being offered. I DO see them as the wave of the future.
That’s coming from someone in A2, Michigan–for other, warmer climates, even more so.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Schneb
I agree, these are the future for lots of folks. Pricing is up there on them, but as you said, still probably a worthy investment for most
Especially if you are going from car to bike. You’ll save lots…
