For now, I put water into my rear trunk bag, but will be looking for a water bottle solution to mount on the bike. There is no water bottle holder provided on the bike and I have read in various forums that people have had trouble finding a water bottle rack that fits the RadCity. It is supposed to switch between solid red and flashing mode, but I have been unable to get it into flashing mode so use the solid mode with another flashing red light attached to my trunk bag that is secured to my RadCity at all times. It has also been designed to fit a Yepp Maxi child seatback and look forward to taking my future grandkids for a ride on the RadCity.Ī rear, battery-powered LED light is positioned at the back of the cargo rack. I've secured my backpack to the rack as well. It allows you to strap panniers on either side and a trunk bag on top. There is a rear cargo rack that is integrated directly into the frame of the RadCity. It is powerful, quiet, and also looks good. The drive unit is black with silver highlights. The RadCity has a seven speed Shimano gear system with classic chain drive. The direct drive hybrid unit, the Shengyi direct drive hub motor, is located in the center hub of the rear tire and provides all of the power for the assistance and throttle. There is a fairly loud, easy to operate, bell on the left side with the display controller and level selector switch located a few inches from the bell. The handgrips are comfortable too and after nearly 200 miles of riding I have yet to feel any discomfort from them. The handlebars are in a riser form and can be raised and lowered with the adjustable stem. It is great looking bike and I have had nothing but positive comments from everyone who has seen it. The RadCity has a modern matte gunmetal gray finish with cool orange highlights displaying the name, company brand, and some striping.

It's an awesome bike that still runs like a champ, but I started looking for something a few months ago that I could ride without having to shower after each segment, that could provide year-round transportation and could support my commute with the Sounder train without having to drive a car, and that would be fun to ride. Last May I started riding my 1993 Bridgestone XO-3 21-speed bike I purchased in 1994. The mild year-round climate, access to trails, and various ways to combine biking with public transportation are also helpful in encouraging bike commuting.

This study looked at the percent of commuters who biked to work, how long it takes to get to work on a bike, the number of Zillow rental listings mentioning bike storage, and miles of protected bike lanes in each city. Last year Zillow issued a report stating that Seattle ranked as the number one city for bikes. The best phone deals right now: Save on the latest iPhones and Androids
