Bike Hugger 

I noticed a Novara Gotham in the Nuvinci tent and took it for a ride.

Best part of PressCamp is the riding on the road and dirt.

Like with any belt drive, the first thing you notice is how quiet it is. Pair it with a Nuvinci hub and it’s smooth.

This is Sade’s greatest hits on a Sunday afternoon smooth. The bike is made for just riding along in style. It includes an integrated rack and nice touches with the saddle, grips, fenders.

I noticed how much Nuvinci has improved too. It’s much more responsive than the version that’s on the Bettie. You twist and feel the “gear” change almost instantly.

The Gotham I rode is a prototype and I’ve asked REI for more details and availability.
