'13 Electra Townie Original 21D

The Townie Original 21D is perfect for intrepid travelers desiring the most comfortable way to see the countryside. Electra's awesome Flat Foot Technology lets you put your feet flat on the ground while in the saddle. And, the pedaling is easy with the quick-shifting Shimano 21-speed drivetrain and the plush seat. You'll also love the wide tires and bump-busting SR SunTour suspension fork that make cruising super smooth. Plus, the linear-pull brakes make sure you've got the stopping power you need.

    I'm 6'3" tall and 300lbs. This bike made me feel like a kid again! I have plenty of room, nice big comfortable seat and was impressed with the overall quality.Even though it's very comfortable and fun to ride you still get a great workout which is why i bought it. The syling of the Electra bikes is really what caught my eye.

    Comments:

    No strain on the hands, and with the right saddle, not so bad on the backside. I can't put both feet down flat at stops. Usually one foot flat and one foot on the crank.

    Comments:

    I just felt so so much safer as with my old bike I had fallen many times when coming to a stop. When I lowered the seat on my old bike I felt safer, but my legs did not extend fully so the legs became tired very fast. I am 72 this month.
