Posted April 21, 2022 in Cycling by Thomas Running
It’s that time of year for a lot of us to start getting our bikes ready for riding outside! Unless you live in warmer weather year-round or have been toughing it out through the cold winter, you have probably been missing getting that bike out on the road or trail! Now is the time to start commuting by bike! Whether it’s for exercise, cutting down on those increasing gas prices, or just the freedom and fresh air, commuting by bike offers all of those. Below is ERIK’S list of the best commuter bikes for 2022!
Best Comfort Commuter Bike:
Specialized Sirrus
The Specialized Sirrus is a fan favorite for many reasons. The Sirrus was built with comfort in mind and this is part of the reason it is such a great commuter bike.
