I bought a Breezer Uptown for my last birthday. This is my fourth bike,
after my carbon fiber trek for mountain climbs, my trek hybrid for rainy day
training rides, and my road tandem for riding with my sweetheart. But the
Breezer! I don't have to worry about night fall, the light is just there,
and since there is no battery it's always ready to go. The chainguard and
fenders mean I can jump on in whatever I'm wearing: wide legged trousers,
billowy skirts, doesn't matter. It's got platform pedals that work fine
with my strappy sandals and whatever shoes I'm wearing. And I can haul two
bags of groceries and not even notice the difference. Anything clips onto
the rack. And it even came with a bell. WOW. I fell in love with this
type of bike on our Baltic cruise, we would rent bikes in ports and they
looked just like this, okay, maybe less shiny. Mine even has the ring lock.
