And Don't Forget Two-Wheelers
If you want fun, fitness, and the most environmentally friendly way to zip around town, get a bicycle. And with a sticker price just a fraction of a new car, bikes are also the most affordable option. Nor do you need to be deterred by winter; commuter bicycles are designed with 365-day usage in mind. (In Europe, commuter bicycles have been available for decades, but they are only just now catching on here.)
The classic of the field is Bianchi's Milano, with its mint-green frame, fenders, and chain guard, red-leather saddle, and Shimano 8-speed shifters. The Breezer Town Bike comes with fenders to keep water from streaking your back, a rack for work necessities, a chain guard to protect pants, and a headlamp to penetrate that Daylight Savings Time darkness. And the Broadway Bike is equipped to handle inclement weather year-round, with internal gearing to protect the drive train from ice and slush, alloy rims that respond better than steel ones to braking in wet weather; and fenders to keep off the rain. You can also outfit your bike with studded tires for better riding in ice and snow.
Next year will see the release of new models such as Fuji's Osaka and Sapporo, Trek's L300, and the high-tech, chain-free Safety Bike by Biria, which features a built-in electronic lock and, amazingly enough, anti-lock brakes.
