- Is the Schwinn Network 1 good for commuting?
- Yes. The upright position, 21 speeds and front suspension suit paved commutes and bike paths. It is heavier than a rigid road bike, so it is not the fastest choice for long sprints.
- What is the difference between the Network 1 and a road bike?
- The Network 1 has flat bars, an upright riding position and a front suspension fork. A road bike has drop bars, a rigid frame and narrower tires, and is faster on smooth pavement.
- How many speeds does it have?
- It has a 21-speed drivetrain, which gives a wide range for hills and flat roads.
- What size wheels does it use?
- It rolls on 700c wheels, the common size for hybrids and road bikes, so tires and tubes are easy to find.
- Does it come with a warranty?
- Schwinn backs the frame with a limited lifetime warranty. Wear parts like tires, brake pads and cables are not covered.
- How much assembly is needed?
- Schwinn lists it as easy assembly with tools required. Expect to fit the front wheel, handlebars, seat and pedals, and to check brake and derailleur adjustment before riding.
