Breezer
Anyone know anything about Breezer bikes. I'm 60's and mobility
challenge and the U frame should allow me to get on. I can't get my leg up over the old mountain bike I have although I do have fun on my trike recumbent. Know anything about the Shimano hub, how much the bike weighs, quality? Chris |

Chris Excellent quality and stupendous service. I ended up not buying one as I was short funds, but they were the most dear folks to email back and forth with. The Shimano hubs do weigh a bit, but it's hub weight and doesn't make the bike feel sluggish. The plus side are perfectly spaced usable gears and zero maintenance short of tightening up the shifter cable every now and then (your dealer will show you how, it's a matter of seconds) I've posted here many times about the Shimano Hubs before, I've put over 20K miles on one in brutal conditions with zero problems. I'm not sure exactly how much the breezer weighs, but I've had a similar fully equipped bike, and it's going to be a bit over thirty pounds. No featherweight, but I promise you it'll feel a lot easier to pedal compared to a mountain bike. I think you might be happiest on an Electra Townie if you're a little challenged in the flexibility department. They place the cranks a bit more forward compared to other utility bikes, allowing you to place both feet on the ground while sitting on the saddle. Worth a look: http://www.electrabike.com/04/bikes/...wnie_home.html Also have a look at the REI Fusion with step through frame, it's like the Breezers in that it comes with all the stuff you need like fenders, lighting, and a kickstand. http://www.rei.com/product/47841655.htm |
