Bikes are a great way to get around the city in the summer; putting your pedal to the metal is a cheaper alternative to subways or Ubers. Riding to and from work is also a seamless way to integrate exercise into your jam-packed schedule.
While metropolitan staples like Citi Bike are convenient, daily riders will be better served financially if they buy their own. The Solé Single-Speed Bike has a larger upfront cost of $279, but over time, it'll cost less than an annual Citi Bike membership, which runs for $149.
The cruiser's collection of fixed gear cycles are specifically suited for city streets, giving it the functionality you need for your morning commute or for cruising the beach or your local bike path. And, it'll sure beat the sweltering, 2o-minute wait for the L train on the hottest of summer days.
