Why
we like this bike
|
Simple,
comfortable ride that looks like a mountain bike with
skinnier wheels. Think of it as an updated 1970s sport
touring bike with upright handlebars instead of the dropped
ones. We have one of these in our little rental fleet
and it is the most often rented bike we have. |
|
Who
is this bike for?
|
We
know a woman who wanted a lighter, easier pedalling bike
than her mountain bike to take on a big tour she was doing
on a dare from her college buddies for a 50th birthday
reunion. She is very happy she chose a Zebrano for its
compromise of comfort and smooth rolling. Other customers
for this bike use it for an hour of daily exercise on
the roads, but they want to sit up more than a road bike
will let them. Alternatives to this bike are touring
bikes and comfort bikes. |
