The Perfect Bicycle

Many look for a bicycle that can serve all purposes: as a commuter bike, training bike, winter bike, or for cycling holidays. We believe this is impossible – at least if cycling is to be enjoyable.

Gravel and Touring Bicycles

As a golden middle ground for swift commuting, we often recommend a Gravel bike or Adventure bike. Here you get wider tyres for a more comfortable ride, room for studded tyres in winter, and the possibility to equip the bicycle with both mudguards and luggage racks. Moreover, they are built to be extremely durable.

For pure cycling holidays, where panniers and heavy luggage are the focus, a touring bicycle is preferable. It usually has a longer wheelbase to keep the pannier bags close to the bottom bracket, which gives a balanced bicycle. If the wheelbase is too short, you also risk hitting your heels on the bags while pedalling. The frame is reinforced and has all the attachment points you need for racks and other equipment. A touring bicycle is optimized for load; it may feel a bit sluggish when empty, but in its proper element it offers unbeatable security.

Ride Fast and Far with a Road Bicycle

If you want to ride fast and far, a classic road bicycle is optimal. It is built for high speeds with low weight and a geometry that minimizes air resistance and maximizes power transfer. Pure training and racing bicycles are, however, seldom the best commuter bike, as they rarely have mounts for mudguards and require narrow tyres with high pressure. But for a quick training ride to and from work, they work perfectly well.
