Midtown: The Urban Explorer

Bring home the treasures of the city with the Midtown, a budget-priced utility bike. Inspired by the elegant geometry of the Loring, the Midtown embraces function and value with rim brakes and a traditional derailleur. Built for comfort, it is equipped with our 65-degree Dupont handlebars that open your arms and provide plenty of breathing room. So swing by the farmers market, load a farmer’s dozen in its Market Front Rack, and head across town to the park for a picnic by the lake. The Midtown is ready to take you there in style at an incredible price. Find out more about the inspiration behind the Midtown's name.
