Folks,these aren't being marketed as commuter bikes. They're for riding around work areas,warehouses,and industrial operations. They're perfect for that.
I wouldn't want to ride one for these on my daily commute around DC,but I sure as heck wouldn't want to ride my cross bike around a construction site.
