GT Traffic 2.0 City Bike. $300 off!

Designed for city use, the Traffic 2.0 has low maintenance internal hub gears. The hub is a Shimano Nexus 8 speed, which has a wide enough range for almost any city riding. Sure the occasional massive incline may mean pushing a bit harder, but generally the gears will handle any situation smoothly and efficiently. One of the advantages of an internal hub, is the ability to change gears when you are stationary. It means you can keep all your attention on the traffic when you are riding to work, and if you forget to change gears, no problem, just change before you start off again.

The frame is quite light, sure anyone after a really lightweight bike will not buy an internal hub bike, but given the heavier hub, the bike is light and easy to pedal. It is fast in traffic, and the relaitively upright riding position suits most people. The double wall rims are again quite light, and overall the bike rolls well and is easy to push.

While discussing the wheels, as I said the rims are double walled, but also eyeletted, so they are not only light, but also very strong. The tyres fitted are Schwalbe Roadcruisers, which have inbuilt puncture protection, a very handy feature for city riding or an area that is prone to "Bindy eyes". The tyres also have reflective sidewalls, which can be a great feature when riding at night.

If all the above is not enough to impress, the bike also comes with a good quality saddle. The handlebars, stem and seat pillar  are all of a high quality and bear the GT brand. The bike is also fitted with a couple of anti theft devices, to prevent the theft of the saddle or wheels. And.... it has an inbuilt taillamp, that fits neatly under the saddle, so neatly in fact, that you hardly notice it is there.

So there we have it a bike that is light, easy to use, safe to park unattended and requires little maintenance. Tempting??
