Trek Lime- 04.02.07
Two words. Automatic. Shifting. Yes, its a bike. And doesn’t it have “design awards” written all over it? (on the website, beware of the energetically peppy “lets go out and play” music) ~ This is Trek’s new LIME. On top of the automatic shifting and great design ~ you can stash stuff in your seat, and skin the colors any which way you want ~ and comes in male and female models, normal and light. (Something about LimeLight works too well). Shade Elaine notes that its a bit “web 2.0 looking” ~ if thats possible in a bike. Also, i’m liking their site/graphic design as well…
I own this bike and I love it!
It is my baby - and I have to treat it like one too - plastic components are not the best. I had to laugh when I saw the bike mechanic comment!
I have moved to a new, very hilly city since recieving this bike as a gift. I am considering selling it or trading in for a mountain bike. The auto shift is so cool and people are always impressed when they ask but does not perform well on hills.
This is definitely a boardwalk type bike - something easy for Sunday morning coffee and quick rides around the neighborhood.
