{Community} Bike Movement

leave a comment »

Today I am writing from the beautiful city of San Francisco. The city always reminds me how much I want to be a part of a community that is truly focused on public & bike transportation. The focus of bikes in San Francisco always opens my eyes to the fabulous combination of fun & functionality. The bikes that can be found riding around are so specific to the rider for height, personality and strength.

I came across PUBLIC bikes and felt they captured the fun and functionality that can be found in bikes from Amsterdam to New York. Their bikes begin with the classic European frame and are made from a lightweight steel, and three gear configurations using internal hubs. These bikes range from $650-$1200.

I love the baby blue color of this one. Totally unisex, made for all shapes & sizes and especially female-friendly which is fantastic.

Another company I love is Velorbis bikes. Their bikes are also based on the timeless Dutch bike complete with mudguards. These bikes start at $1700.

Is your community public & bike transit friendly? How are you participating in the movement? Don’t be afraid to combine fun & functionality and explore all the bikes that are available these days. It will be great for the environment, your health and the community. -xx
