Finding a bike with generator hub
Hi!
I'm moving from Europe to Philadelphia for a year. Here at home, I'm commuting by bike. I have an all-year, all-weather bicycle at home, but it probably won't pay off to take it with me.
Especially the light is important for me, I prefer a generator hub with LED lights (front and back). Searching through the internet, it seems to be very very difficult to find such bikes in the US. I have no idea why. Here, you can buy such city bikes at every corner, reasonably priced. Also a good chain protection, a gear hub and hydraulic brakes would be nice. (The hydraulic brakes don't freeze so easily in cold winters.)
Can somebody recommend an (online) store where I can find such a bike? Hopefully for less than 1000$. At home, big sports shops usually also have a large collection of, often cheap, city bikes. One of these might be just fine for a year. I don't know if this is true for the US too, as city bikes with lights seem to be very uncommon.
Thank you in advance for tips!
Milan
