10 beautiful and comfortable bikes for the summer
With the return of warm weather Immediately want to return to the summer lifestyle. In particular, to arrange long bike rides on the weekends, and on weekdays to get to work with the breeze on a bicycle, rather than on a stuffy subway, jostling elbows with strangers. We chose the most beautiful and functional bikes for every budget that can be bought in Russian online stores.
Electra townie balloon
If you do not want to think long, but do not want to miscalculate, you need Electra - an American bicycle that has returned to the fashion for cruisers and relaxed skating. If, at the word "Electra", "expensive" or "hipster" immediately rush into the head, we hasten to convince - in fact, this is an amazingly reliable and beautiful bike, which your children will still ride. At Townie it is not a pity to give the accumulated money; in the end, in a crowded Moscow it’s worth thinking hard about what it all makes sense to save - it seems that it’s better for two wheels than four. With the Shimano Acera speed selector, which is under constant stress when riding, there is no unexpected disappointment and too quick repairs. Men's Townie is even more beautiful than female ones, so if skating in a dress is not a priority, you can safely take the "male" version - both the silhouette and the color scheme are much nicer from it, and the frame is made of the same lightweight aluminum alloy - the main thing is to He fit the growth.

Strida 5.2
Since classic bikes in the metro are not welcome, and city bike rentals have not yet appeared everywhere, a folding bike is an ideal option for those who have to change to public transport all the time. For the sake of justice, it’s possible to get on a ground bike with a regular bike, but with a folding one it’s more convenient to do it. The British Strida is less suitable for long runs, but as a reliable helper in short but regular marches through the city - the most it. The lightest folding bike in the world can simply be rolled side by side when folded when not in use. The manufacturer also promises that with him you will forget about THAT, road splashes and oil stains thanks to the Kevlar belt instead of the classic chain. It develops a good speed, and for the city 1 transmission is enough. However, for the Moscow winter, he does not fit. On the other hand, only the bravest can ride in the snow, so it’s not really a minus.

Schwinn Cruiser One Women
You don’t need to wring your hands in despair if you want a beautiful bicycle for the city, but are not ready to lay out a fortune for it - Chicago-based Schwinn has been selling successively all over the world for over 100 years and occupy a niche for high-quality budget bikes. Some would argue that one name remained from the once largest American brand - Schwinn’s production has completely moved to China, but the quality seems to have been affected. The price within 15 thousand rubles looks very profitable against the background of other offers. Schwinn's pretty models come across in two, if not in one, but this year's cruisers delight the eye with its minimalist design and good colors. Comfortable urban bike with 1 speed and without any complaints will be a very nice workhorse, however, from the improvements it offers only a flashlight, wings and a bell.

Pashley Princess Sovereign
Classic Pashley is such a bike that an imaginary Englishwoman rides along pastoral landscapes on a wonderful summer day. The British manufacturer, which is rapidly approaching its centenary, does not lose, but only gains in popularity, despite the impressive cost, at least in Russia, of the cost of this urban cruiser. Nevertheless, if the issue of price is not an edge, Pashley will not only brighten weekdays with its beautiful view, but will also serve for many years: a hand-made frame, traditional values and English quality will not let you down. Completely hidden chain, wings, protection on wheels and lowered frame are simply created in order to at least once in a lifetime ride a bicycle in a dress. Put a raised dog or cat in your basket and go into the sunset.

Manufacturers guarantee that you will not find a better price-quality ratio, so if you have always dreamed of a Dutch bicycle, this is your option.

Kross Classico II
The classic story that began in Warsaw in the town of Przasnysz: the small shop of Zbigniew Sosnowski expanded to the largest Polish bicycle manufacturer in the years, and the production of mountain Kross was the largest in Europe. In addition to the mountain brand produces very high quality bikes for the city, which look, moreover, much more expensive than they really are. For example, specifically this model is very good in noticeable details like a beautiful lantern and protection from falling clothes into the spokes. In general, the Classico is a reliable, albeit heavy, bike for unhurried rides.

Shulz GOA-3 Coaster
It is not necessary to introduce austerity mode to afford the purchase of a good folding bike. The most affluent we send for Brompton, and the rest recommend Shulz. Unlike the Strida, which is more suitable for short trips, Shulz is closer to the “big” bikes for endurance, but it is still convenient to carry it in the folded state and use for commuting, for example. On such a bike you can carry a heavy thing on the trunk, and calmly take it on the subway and go on a bike ride. Laconic color performance is also beneficial. In addition, the Shulz has several excellent folding models, so you can choose the one that suits you most in terms of price and functionality.

Pure Fix Cycles The Golf
Not everyone is delighted with the cruisers, both externally and in terms of their functionality, so it would be foolish to bypass the fixes side. HYIP on them has already passed, but fashion is probably not, so the choice of fixes in stores is still quite large. Choose a model to your liking - personally we really like the Pure Fix Cycles for its affordable price and many colors. This is a great option for those who are just starting to learn fixes / singlespids. Decent quality and nothing superfluous - just a bike, speed and comfortable ride from morning to evening. With this, it is easy to discover the beauty of summer Moscow, while passersby quietly envy the beauty of your bike. Steel frame, four sizes and light weight - just a dream for the city and the highway.

Globe Daily Deluxe 2 Step Through
A branch of the American Specialized brand that has become popular regardless of the parent company. “Step through” simply means a frame without a top tube, “female” if you want. Daily Deluxe is designed with the load in front: wicker baskets eventually get bored, and with this bike you can not sacrifice functionality, retaining the face in front of friends and colleagues, if the image of a romantic girl returning from the flower market is not for you. In addition to design, pleasant for the city bicycle, Globe is praised for reliability and a design. For example, truly long wings will protect you and your bike from dirt and water. Globe / Specialized pride themselves on quality, although their production is focused on Taiwan, which is not uncommon for such a large mainstream brand. This model exists in three sizes: there are sizes from 158 to 188 cm, which is convenient if the bikes are usually for you a little more or less than you need.

Linus Dutchi 3
Real functional minimalism for a reasonable price. Light in all senses: the thin frame and air design are complemented by low weight and ease of operation. Manufacturers say they were inspired by the French aesthetics, and specifically Dutchi is a variation on the theme of the Dutch bicycle, although in fact he hails from California. Anyway, it is easy to jump on this bike and go on business, not thinking once again about whether this is a good idea. Despite the light weight of his steel frame, that is real luck. You can choose a model with 3 or 1 speed and save a little if traveling uphill is not a problem for you. Due to the large wheels, it is larger than its counterparts, but it is more comfortable to ride it. Among the shortcomings: incomplete protection of the chain and not the strongest spokes - there are cases of breakage of the spokes of the rear wheel at high permanent loads.
