Coasters are supposed to keep things simple, but…
There's a tiny computer on the seat post or tucked under the bottom bracket that triggers a gear change when riders hit 7 mph, and again at 11 mph.
And
DVDs explaining how customers for Coasting bikes are folks who "just want to ride."

"It” (bicycling) had gone from fun to being a sport.
With obesity rates and heart disease being serious problems maybe more people SHOULD challenge themselves.

It built a Web site, coasting.com, where riders could find safe routes in their communities.
Two problems, 1: No routes with in a 25 mile radius of Las Vegas?
2: The site enourages “trails” AKA MUPs, which are more dangerous than riding on the
street.
