The purpose of this move is to get closer to work and to get more space for our family. The closer to work bit will mean that I can get back on the bicycle again on a daily basis. Currently, I am stuck driving, and it is driving me nuts.
My city commuter bicycle is mostly dead. It has been through several winters and is a bit rough around the edges. I am thinking of just making it a winter bicycle and leaving it at that.
So, in an effort to get something classy and urban, I turn to Opus.
Opus bicycles, out of Quebec, perhaps more than any bicycles we sell at the shop, gets the urban bicycle concept right.
This means I must get an Opus bicycle.
Opus has come up with a bicycle which ticks all of my happy city boxes in one swipe.
This bicycle is the Opus Case i3 and is new for this year. It has fenders, a chromoly steel frame, a three speed internal hub, a chain guard, and mounts for racks etc.
It is the closest thing to my old CCM 3-speed I used to ride to school on when I was a teenager and CCM still made a good bicycle.
It is inexpensive, and awesome.
I would love it with a porteur basket on the front.
Wow, congratulations on getting to ride to work everyday starting next year! And the bike is actually a good choice, it does look classy. Take care on the rides!
ReplyDeleteI used to do this all the time, right through the winter, but we had to move for family reasons. I really miss it though, and cannot wait to get back to it. Thanks for popping by and your well wishes.
ReplyDeleteBike commuting, definitely a good choice (so, congrats!). But... no drop bars? :P
