City bikes
It's early in the morning. The air is still fresh and the light of the rising sun creates an enchanting atmosphere. You take a deep breath and smile as you take your city bike out of the garage. Motivated, you hop onto the saddle and start pedaling. Your eyes suddenly fall on a stressed man storming out of his front door, slamming it loudly. He curses as he searches for the house key in his briefcase, then finds it. Now he lets himself fall into the driver's seat, exhausted and sweaty. He starts the engine before driving off in a cloud of stinking smoke.
You wrinkle your nose, turn onto a bike path and – like every morning – finally leave all stressed drivers behind you. You've made it, you know. You are one of those who leave their car in the garage, one of those who have acquired a taste for it and wonder why they didn't switch to a bike much earlier Or don't even know any different... There is hardly a better way to combine necessity with health and environmental aspects than to use a city bike. In more and more cities and districts, the cycle networks are being expanded, and so you can see more and more of these comfortable city bikes. They guarantee a pleasant journey, without the hassle of parking problems, and they can even be conveniently stopped right in front of your destination. Reliable components are used, with city bikes offering their own unique advantages, perfectly tailored for you, so that every trip through your city is a pleasure. At the same time, the ergonomics of these bikes guarantee the gentlest possible transportation.
More and more men and women are discovering the joy of city bikes. Low-entry bikes are becoming increasingly popular. It doesn't matter whether the reason for preferring a low entry is because of joint or back problems, or because a young father wants to bring his offspring to their destination more safely, or even to carry heavy shopping. Reasons for using a city bike are usually for short distances that are better covered by bike than by car. For many, it is also a more pleasant way of getting around, especially for necessary errands such as the daily commute to work, to kindergarten or to the weekly market. Environmentally friendly and health conscious, trips with the city bike are more of an enrichment than a necessary evil, especially compared to the crowds in the daily traffic jams on our streets. Many newly discovered cyclists are also amazed at how much time can be saved, after all, there are rarely traffic jams or slow-moving traffic on bike paths..
Riding an all-rounder
Your sitting position is upright and relieving, like the seat of an office chair. Gel saddles, suspension seat posts and ergonomic handlebars are particularly pleasant. This way, you can keep a good overview of what is happening around you. Since city traffic can get hectic at times, you need to be able to rely on your city bike's brakes, drive (in the case of a motorized version) and good tires. What also belongs to the basic equipment of your city bike is a set of all-round roadworthy components, including a bell, mudguards, a stand, a high-quality lighting system and a sturdy luggage rack. City paths can take you uphill and downhill. That's why city bikes are equipped with a variety of gears, so you're sure to find exactly what you need. In general, hub gears are less susceptible to maintenance, but you are spoilt for choice: you will find everything from a single gear to 24 gears. The decisive factors for your purchase decision are your needs and the requirements of your everyday routes.
The details
Expect a city bike to be a little heavier than most, due to the frame, which has to be specially designed for the most comfortable possible ride and often also for easy access. The weight of special men's city bikes is often reduced. Their ergonomics tend to be more sporty; however, if a child seat is attached, low-entry bikes are mandatory for all of them. You should always make sure that the tire pressure is good for optimal rolling behavior. Feel free to ask us for advice or find out for yourself what is suitable for you by using the information provided on our website. For example, you can use the size calculator on our site to help you make the right decision when it comes to frame size.
