The chance to ride an upright bike a couple of years ago piqued my interest in making a switch for commuting. While I’ve gotten pretty good at the discreet dismount I wouldn’t mind a slightly more graceful maneuver. My adjustments to shopping habits to acquire a bike-friendly wardrobe didn’t do away with my desire for a step-through model, though. I loved the nimble navigating I could do on that road bike. Granted, this situation doesn’t occur too often but I want to be ready for it when it does (and it does). First and foremost, it has to pass the staircase test: I have to be able to carry the bike up a flight of stairs with all the gear on it. This set me up with some high expectations for a commuter bike. Then I met Sweet Hubs, who got me onto a Specialized Dolce–a lightweight road-biking dream at around 18 pounds before I added racks/gear–and I commuted on that for the past 5 years. These bikes probably weighed a good 45 pounds apiece before adding racks and gear. My bike commuting started on a big-box “Iron Maiden” pseudo-mountain bike, replaced with a similar one when #1 was stolen. Step-through design and upright riding posture make it a delight!
