My wife wants a new bike.
Her current bike is a single speed beach cruiser. The geraing and geo is hardly suitable for the 'up and down' terrain of Hilly Hobart, and it's certainly not agile enough for commuting along the bike track and navigating city streets.
Currently looking at an Electra Amsterdam 8 speed conversion similar to the one below
My wife says that she wants to get away from the boat like handling of the cruiser and get something a little more nimble and suitable for zipping around the city and doing commutes of up to 8kms each way along reasonably flat cycleway, and the occasional weekend family ride to the markets or picnic spots.
She wants a few gears because you need em in Hobart but is insistent that it must have twist shift and I am not interested in buying something and converting it afterwards, or dual front chainrings.
So, do any ladies have (or any men who'se ladies have) any advice on a decent ladies bike?
Fast, smooth, reliable, comfortable.
All suggestions considered and all help welcomed and appreciated.
