Cargo Straps Not Included

The Gazelle: An all out “dreaming of a car free urban experience” themed bike… wow. Some features I’ll highlight are the low maintenance internal gear system, a generator front light (no rear light sorry), generous comfort, and a bright style. A well built bike designed for an incredibly practical use. It approaches large as a 19 inch frame, some medium riders will fit but I recommend a tall rider. It’s currently marked down to $400.

I normally love to show off a rare bike, something that may have won a mountain bike race in 1993 or perhaps a beautiful 80s touring bike, both of which could be had in the same price range and both of which I love to ride. But the fact of the matter is that when I’m shopping with the family going 9 mph downtown there is so much power in being able to take home the groceries or laundry. It is heavy and fixing the flats requires a lot more faffing about to get the wheels off but it’s a sweet little truck-esque bike to help someone avoid using a car that much more. Thanks for reading, hope to see you in the shop!
