Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

The cost seems reasonable enough, and it could be a pretty cool commuter.

Geometry is moronic for a flat bar bike...top tube is only about 2 inches shorter than standard per frame size.

I have a problem with this line "Technology impacts our lives in countless ways. Yet we ride the same, archaic bicycles to and from work every day, disconnected from our environment and ourselves."

Riding an archaic bike without all that tech is what connects you to your environment, moreso than relying on some "tech" to do it for you.

Not terribly relevant to the bike itself, but I like how the guy carried it over his left shoulder with the chainring rubbing all up on his gentleman's blouse. Also, his seat's too low.

I guess if I weave around oblivious to my surroundings I would need something like this to keep me alive.
