It looks like there are a few interesting products including a new more moderately priced Civia product line. It also looks like Xtracycle and cargo bikes are really starting to take off.
Do you think this a lasting trend or are we going to go back to getting lost in all the performance bike crap?
I think that depends on us (the bike savvy minority) and the public at large. If gas prices crash you can kiss this new trend goodbye as more of the initiated public will stay car heavy.
