  • Our take on the City Bike - Bubble-Gum (3 Speed)

    The City Bike is a steel commuter with a classic look: fenders, a chain guard, mustache handlebars and a riveted leatherette saddle. This 3-speed version uses a Shimano Nexus internal hub with a grip shifter, so you can shift while stopped and keep the drivetrain enclosed. It rolls on cushy 35c tires and stops with a coaster brake. It suits riders who want low-maintenance city transport and an upright posture more than speed; compared with derailleur commuters it gives up gear range and hand brakes but gains simplicity and weather protection.

    Questions and answers

    Is the 3-speed worth it over the single-speed?
    Yes if your route has any hills or headwinds. The Nexus hub adds climbing gears while staying enclosed and low-maintenance. On flat ground the single-speed is simpler and lighter.
    Can I shift while stopped?
    Yes. The Shimano Nexus internal hub lets you change gears at a standstill, which helps when you stop at lights.
    Does it have hand brakes?
    No. Stopping is by coaster brake, applied by pedaling backward. There are no brake levers on the bars.
    What comes in the box?
    The bike with fenders, chain guard, leatherette saddle, mustache handlebars with lock-on grips and retro metal pedals. Assembly of bars, front wheel and pedals is typically required.
    How does it handle hills?
    Three gears cover moderate slopes, but steep or long climbs will be hard work. Riders in hilly areas should consider a bike with more gears.
    Is it good for commuting in rain?
    Fenders and the chain guard protect you and the drivetrain from road spray, and the internal hub is sealed. The coaster brake also works in wet weather.
