City and Commuter Bicycles
Commuter and City bikes are made to be ridden in areas with traffic. They usually do not have an extreme number of gears. When riding in a city or downtown, you will need to make frequent stops, dodge traffic, and get to where you are going on time. Many commuter bikes now have 700c wheels, 7-speeds and take advantage of the Shimano Nexus Hub. Shimano's Nexus system gets rid of the derailleur and has a coaster brake with it. Most will also have hand brakes, so you will have very good braking power when a quick stop is a must. Light systems are also a good idea, as are racks and baskets.
 

A new brand that offers several bicycles that can be used for commuting is Cadillac. They are offered at select bike shops and exclusively online at Cadillac Bike Store.
