Well, since europeans are credited for discovering the bicycle, they are also given credit for the "City Bike" design. If you Google's Images Search mode box, and type "City Bikes", you will see mostly images of what I have described. You will NOT see any dropped handlebars or suspension systems. However, I am a bit disappointed at the sobering absence of fenders and racks.
