EDITOR’S NOTE
Welcome to Momentum Mag’s first
City Bike City Life Look Book!
F
inding the right bicycle and accessories can be a bit of a daunting task, so Momentum Mag has done the dirty work for you by putting together the City Bike City Life Look Book. Whether you are brand new to riding or you have been riding for years, we are certain that there will be something inside for you. We understand that urban/city/commuting/ utility/transportation bicycling is still a fairly new, and very under developed, category in the North American bicycle industry. It is so new in fact, that there has yet to be a defining name that the industry can agree on. We also know that it can be a challenge to find the exact product you are looking for, even though you know exactly what it needs to do. MOMENTUMMAG.COM
Your stories and challenges have been heard and have helped us create the City Bike City Life Look Book. You said: I want to go to yoga then stop at the grocery store on my way home from work … I need to take my kids to school before heading to the office … I do not want to have to bring a change of clothes … I want to be confident my bike will still be where I locked it … and we listened. We want to help you find solutions that are practical, functional, and stylish ways to complement and enhance your urban lifestyle. We have handpicked, tested, and reviewed all of the products that you will see in the following pages. This preliminary version of our Look Book includes product information
on why we chose it, prices, and websites to find out more. In October 2014, we will release a second version with detailed reviews of all of the products shown. It is our pleasure to bring you Momentum Mag’s first City Bike City Life Look Book. This collection includes just some of the latest and greatest bicycles and accessories that will enhance your urban riding experience. At Momentum Mag, we know that if you have a great bicycle and the perfect accessories to complement your busy lifestyle, you will ride happy and more often.

CITY BIKES MOMENTUM TIP: When looking for the perfect city bike it is important to consider your lifestyle and your needs when it comes to commuting, leisure, and errands. Keep options like how much of an upright position is comfortable for you, whether you will benefit from a step-through frame, if weight will be important for carrying the bike up stairs, and what added accessories you may want when comparing different models.
