Coasting Coverage

The AP picks up the Coasting story writing about how the industry is hoping to drive sales with automatic bikes and enjoyment over performance. I know, I know, in previous posts, the Coasting disses come in, but anything that can get the “my dad” demographic riding more or any other demographic riding more is good for everyone. Just like the Bianchi Milano, what Electra is doing with cruiser bikes, Clever Cycles, and an industry that’s just making cycling easier.

As far as I’m concerned, anything that gets people outside is a good thing.
One step at a time.

Absolutely. I’ve seen the Lime and it’s cool, but not their store-within-store concept and don’t know where they are on rolling that out.
They are doing ads on the West Orange Trail here in Orlando:
Any news on when Alfine will start showing up? I’ve yet to see it in person. My wife really likes the Lime - too bad that rear plastic ball makes pulling a baby-trailer impossible…
I haven’t seen it yet. Has anyone?
