Civia Loring Urban Bikes: 3 or 9 Speed 2 Choices For This Amazing City Bike
The Civia Loring simply screams usability. It looks like a “world bike” with up to the minute attributes such as disc brakes. A feature available only on the Loring is the front and rear racks with the bamboo slats that look “Mm-mm good!” . The ‘old shool’ porters front rack makes the bike look immensely practical and very attractive
Scott Thayer, Civia’s General Manager – is quoted as saying
Some time back we concluded that many brands were starting to offer more commuter models, but few were devoting design and engineering reserves to the project. They would usually repurpose on hand products as their new commuter .
We needed to focus the attention for our commuting models to design and engineering to practicality that was traditionally given to road and mountain models .
Our model design process begins by defining who the user is will be and identifying their experience. With the Civia Loring , we expect the buyer being a person that is cycling between 2 and 5 miles or just out and about enjoying the day. They want to have the ability to transport things with them and not necessarily have to have planned for it by bringing a bag in advance. This is also a biycycle that could serve as a family bike with many riders .
From this scenario, we developed this bicycle with a comfortable , upright seating position, a practical, well balanced front basket, a two leg kickstand for a steady stance while loading and gave the frame plenty of standover height for simple on and off. We wanted to do something fun with the fine points , so we decided on bamboo for the racks’ decking in addition to the bamboo fenders. The design of the Civia Loring and the bamboo have have certainly caught people’s notice
Loring Bamboo Fenders
Our undertaking to create a bicycle fender with perfect form, superb function and natural beauty took us all the way to the lush bamboo forests of Taiwan lead our search half way round the world to Taiwan and their extensive bamboo forests . One of the quickest growing woody plants on the planet, bamboo makes a great alternative to plastic. Finished with satin polyurethane to protect them from the weather, these flat-bladed fenders are great spray guards. While no fender will save you from getting wet in a downpour, they’ll help keep your clothes dry while you roll along wet pavements .
