Which Recreational Bicycle is Best For You?

[@dustinp9732]

Just ordered me a brilliant. Can't wait. So excited

[@ImAnEmergency]

The L-Train disc is pretty much everything I want in a bike. It’s going to be my next bike for sure. I’ll be riding it all around Vancouver WA & Portland, OR. I only wish it came in British racing green!

That CVT shifter is so cool and looks so simple to use.

I ordered my 3-Speed, Matte Dark Olive, Coast at the end of March. It was back ordered for July 15th. I have a feeling it will be worth the wait!!! I will be sure to follow-up here with my comments on shipping and unpacking, manufacturing and assembly quality, fit and finish, and of course, ride and handling! I also ordered and received the High Power Horn and Planet Bike Rack! Shipping and quality have been great with those so far!

[@PriorityBicyclesNYC]

Thank you!! It will be worth it. That color way is really great!

@@PriorityBicyclesNYC I have had my Coast just over a month now and can say that I am beyond happy with the bike! It arrived, as promised on the 15th of July. Packaging was very nice! NO scratches at all, but was very pleased to see that the box included touch up paint just in case! I had ordered a beach cruiser in the beginning of the year for my daughter from a competitor and when it arrived it had a few areas with scratches on the bike rack. I am still waiting for them to send me a new one as promised. 😡 The Coast is a very robust bike with nicely laid welds. The paint color is even better in person than the picture on the website! The Gates belt is so smooth to pedal! I ride my bike almost every day for at least an hour for recreation and exercise. As mentioned, I have the 3 speed. I am pleased with the gear ratio for the type of joy riding that I do through the suburbs. I was hoping to get used to the pedal brake, but think I will be building a rear wheel in the future that includes a hub with freewheel. I understand that I will be solely relying on the front brake, but I don't foresee me flipping over the handlebars due to excessive speed. 😁 This is truly a cruiser, as inferred by the Red Dixie cup drink handlebar attachment that it adorns. 😁 I would HIGHLY recommend this bike! And if you ever add a section on your website for owners bikes, I would proudly add mine!

Would love to see a segment showing which of your bikes offer the best balance and control while riding with a child seat.

[@PriorityBicyclesNYC]

Yes yes yes yes yes! Thank you for the request. We will do a full breakdown! We love the requests so keep em coming!

I believe I’ve ordered the perfect bike for me. I am waiting for my L Train disc to be shipped in September at the moment. I see you have included it in two videos, for choosing the best commuter and choosing the best recreational bike. A commuter that is also fun to ride is exactly what I am looking for! And I love the classic look of the steel frame!

[@PriorityBicyclesNYC]

So awesome. Thank you!!

[@lacheranimyl7930]

I've had my eye on the Turi, working myself towards a purchase. Would you please resolve my ignorance on a couple of points? 1. Why is it classified as recreational rather than for commuting? 2. How does one prevent accidentally adjusting the gear level while gripping the handlebars (e.g., while straining up a hill)? Hope to hear from you, Priority Bicycles!

[@PriorityBicyclesNYC]

Hi there! Great questions. The Turi would work great for both recreational and commuting. With the Gates Belt Drive, enviolo hub, and fenders, it would work well. We could and have featured the Turi in both recreational and commuter videos! As far as accidentally adjusting- there is a good tactile feel of the shifter, so you get a sense of where it is and it would be challenging to surprisingly have it slip! It is a great bicycle. Thank you!

Okay, your bikes make a bunch of sense--even to those of us who own one of everything other than a trike and an eBike. (My Rans Stratus XP is my favorite these days.) I will buy a 600 series in the Autumn. I have only one request: please lose the obnoxious, intrusive, distracting, repetitive pseudo-music. I am forced to turn on Closed Captions and mute the sound in order to learn from the Video. Remember, please: Good Audio Makes Good Video. This fixation upon "music" tracks embedded in You Tube videos...well it it mystifying ! I liken it to prime time TV dramas such as FBI embedding music throughout each show even while the actors Are Speaking ! Unbelieveable !

[@KYoss68]

Is it possible to order the Turi with the laid back handles for a more upright seating position? I'm looking for an all-purpose commuter good for running errands that I can put cargo racks on the back and front of aka: dutch bike.

[@brilliantbicycles240]

Hellloooo! Thanks for reaching out. We don't offer it stock here, but any local bike shop can easily help you out on finding one that is perfect for your riding style. It would be easy! Thank you!

I bet if you moved your HQ to say a western location like Boulder, CO, in a year you would look back at your time in NYC as a waste. Lost time.
