11 Versatile Urban Commuter Bikes

Urban commuter bikes need to be versatile, efficient, convenient and lightweight. These qualities are key components to the successful contemporary launch of any city-oriented bicycle and it is in the best interest of companies to quickly adopt this approach, while still paying attention to fit and aesthetics.

In general, cycling is gaining more popularity in rapidly growing metropolitan cities. This might be initiated through a concern for the environment, a desire for exercise or frustration derived from traffic conditions. Many manufacturers are taking advantage of this acceleration in cycling by offering a plethora of urban commuter bikes that boast different qualities. While something like Riese & Muller's 'Packster 40' is geared toward families, other bicycles like the GM E-Bike is convenience-focused as its frame is fully foldable.
