The Giant USA hybrid bikes shown in this video would make any
mother happy and proud. So would your participation in this year's Mother's Day Contest. Details are in the video, so don't hesitate to watch and enter.
At our brick-and-mortar store hybrid bikes make up
approximately 75% of our new bike sales within our leisure-recreation-vacation
market.
It wasn’t always that way. In the early ‘80s, our dominant
new bike offering, dictated by distributors, was a 10-speed drop handlebar bike.
The industry “handle” was a 10-speed racer.
This was okay for our younger client. However, our middle-agers
didn’t want to lean forward and stretch their neck upwards to see where they
were going.
Racer. yes. Comfort, no go.
The listener, BikemanforU, claimed ‘I’ll fix that.’
Without changing anything other than the handlebar and brake
levers to a three-speed design, he made a modified comfort bike to satisfy
those customers.
YouTube's how-to guru of bicycle repair, as usual, was way ahead of his time.
