Wife and I have Giant Simple 3 bikes Posted by MI-Roger [Email] (#882) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MI-Roger) on Fri, 10 Apr 2015 05:30:41 In Reply to: "City" Bikes, No Snaab, Fri, 10 Apr 2015 05:20:49 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
These may be called Cruisers rather than City bikes, but they feature an upright seating position, fat tires and larger seat for comfort, hers has a Front basket and mine has a rear rack. As implied by the name they also have a 3-speed rear hub and coaster brakes.
Giant was recenlty bought out by another company the Giant bike model family still comes up in web searches. Price was just under what you stated as your cost comfort level when we bought them three years ago.
Previously we had a matching pair of Sears bikes with 3-sped hubs and coaster brakes. They lasted 30 years without problems. Eventually their small hard tires, skinny seat, and more aerodynamic seating position fell out of favor with our aging bodies.
