| Megan Rides at Gary Fisher Simple City 8 named Francis with a a rear internal hub and front basket. |
Cycling Tip from Megan: Avoid alleys in the winter. The city doesn't plow or salt the alleys and with a little precipitation they quickly turn into dangerous ice slicks.
Note: The steel basket on Megan's bike is large enough to haul most things she needs. Since she doesn't own a car, she does all her shopping by bike.

I love those dual-pronged kickstands too - extremely practical so that your bike doesn't fall over while you're loading up cargo. Nice looking bike, and great coat as well!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe they won't be making Simple City bikes anymore.
ReplyDeleteIts a great bike. I heard about Trek's change in the Fisher line but didn't realize this would mean discontinuing the Simple City series. What a shame.
ReplyDeleteThe double kick stand is great but the steel basket weights 5lbs itself and usually causes the bike to tip over, even when empty, unfortunately.
I still own the 2009 Gary Fisher Catalog, which has a beautiful layout picture of the Simple City 8 sitting in front of a farm stand with vegetables, flowers, and bread in the basket. Nice bike.
