Costing less than a year’s worth of bus passes, our level 1 Midtown is here to make your commute a lot more fun. We have broken our entry-level urban bike out into a couple tiers, making a quality ride even more accessible. Built on a light and strong frame, the Midtown has a comfortable upright riding position that excels in urban environments. Mechanical disc brakes keep your speed right where you want it and are a real step up from rim brakes, especially on rainy days. The Midtown is easy to maintain and is a great refresher on the joy of cycling. Rack and fender mounts let you customize your ride and make it more useful. And the large-diameter wheels carry more momentum than standard 26in. mountain bike wheels, so you cruise right over bumps, rough pavement and unpaved side streets.
