here is a neat one for many reasons,
it is the Blackline, the bike gets its name from the elevated train lines in Chicago,
at the front of the bike there is a unique and versatile cargo system, the system can be configured to meet just about any of your gear-toting needs, and you don't need tools to do so, there is a U-lock in the front storage unit and grab-and-go technology in the back, which allows you to quickly stow and retrieve your bag, satchel or briefcase, the handlebars are custom Helios smart handlebars with built in LED headlights and side blinkers, the side blinkers utilise GPS navigation to help you navigate your trip, You can link your smart device to the handlebars via Bluetooth and control things like the brightness of the lights, navigation and display (use the display to see how fast you're going), there is even a USB charging port on the bikes handlebars,
but for me this is the really neat bit, no more messy chains to adjust and oil! the bike employs a maintenance free drive train, there is no chain with this drive train, it utilises a belt and a sealed 3-speed SRAM hub, this sort of hub was originally designed to withstand conditions in rural Africa, so you can bet it can handle your daily commute, even in the worst conditions, I wonder why more bicycle manufactures do not use this type of drive? anyway the bike is not in the shops - yet, but if you are interested have a look at their website.
