darn gifswhy do the gifs invert?
anyhow...
the superbad site had me thinking of Biomega in Denmark
beautiful bikes
more art than function
Dynamic makes a more affordable shaft driven bike
shaft drive is not the center of my idea
affordability is really the core of the issue
I feel that it is the responsibility of the bicycle industry to modify its low end bike to meet the need of the low income consumer
the Huffy/Paciffic market makes a bike that resembles a downhill bike
the majority of these bicycle owners have never seen a long travel downhill bike or a downhill race
they are shopping by price
they are buying what is made available to them at that price point
lose the shocks
lose the full range of gears
the shocks do not work
and the wide range of gears go unused
there should be a 3 or 5 speed option
fully rigid
basic commuter
a rack and fenders are more valuable to this low income option then front and rear shock
the department store style bicycle does a fine job with the basic beach cruiser
they should step away from quasi-the mountain bike
modify the beach cruiser into a utilitarian bike
