These European bikes may be the next big thing since more people are using bikes as a transportation option. That old mountain bike does not quite cut it if your wearing something other than sweats and forget about carrying groceries or a laptop bag.

European bikes offer a more practical option for day to day short transit to the store or work. The riding position is upright, they have multiple options for carrying gear and offer features like skirt guards and enclosed chain assemblies. They also look more sophisticated than your typical sport bike.

Bike stores in larger cities have begun to carry lines of these bikes. Most run from about $900 to $2000 so invest in a good quality bike lock.
