Step through practicality rules.
 

Hi all,
I have an old Schwinn Mirada mixte that I use for hunting non motorized area. I often have a load on the back so getting on is easier and the low bar height is great if I need to stop quickly on uneven terrain. It rolls on 26 x 2.5 tires and is as good as the fat bike I had for where I ride it. I have other step through frames built up for different jobs. The other mirada has drop bars , racks and 2 inch slicks for commuting and rough touring.
Thanks and ride on!

My sister just got herself a Public C7i as a commuter.

She rides at 12 mph, so I think it's a better fit for her than the mixte she had.

A few years ago, 2 Guys from Sweden Started their Bike Tour from Anchorage AK after the AlCan highway were riding down the coast , to near the Mexican Border ,

Turning east, Crossing the Southern Tier States and Flying Home From Florida . they Were riding step thru Commuter bikes with Shimano's 8 speed IGH ,

.... when I saw them , around Mid November , Here on the Oregon Coast..
