The Electra Townie.
Do I have any firsthand knowledge of or experience with the bike? No. Other than touching one wistfully in an REI. But the whole flat-foot technology thing, the big ol' handlebars, the curve of the top tube--this is one cool bike. Perfect for doing things like, I don't know, bike commuting to work (when my other beloved bike seems like overkill or pretentiousness--like riding one of those tricked out fixies). Plus, with the Townie, you can get all sorts of cool accessories! They also have all sorts of gearing options, including those snazzy internal-hub shifters.
But if you're in the country, as I am, can you get away with riding a "Townie" when sitting at a red light alongside a dude driving a Dodge Ram dually? Perhaps not.
