I bought the Townie for myself to celebrate a significant birthday. I have been very happy with this bike. I ride it every evening and the 7 speed is perfect for the Midwest suburban streets. It shifts easily. The wide seat is comfy and looks good in hot pink. Wide tires are sturdy and give me a lot of confidence. I like the fact that this is a one-size-fits-all bike and is easy to dismount and stop abruptly, if necessary.

My salesperson really listened to my needs to identify what I would like. My family and I were on Mackinac Island in Michigan and rode rental bikes two days straight. I never felt and comfortable and confident and it was because of the bike! The rental was a different brand but after describing the experience to my salesperson, he took me over to the array of Electras with flat foot technology. I am on my bike all the time now and loving it! I only wish they would make a ladies bike in black or steel grey since that's more my color style. I got the green which is very cool. The styling and accessories are fun too as well as the Electra Facebook page etc which makes you part of the Electra community.

After having some difficulty adjusting to a "teetering" urban-style bike, [...] store manager suggested I test ride a Townie ...voila! LOVE it! This bike is so comfortable to ride. Its Flat Foot Technology allows the rider to feel stable and confident. This positioning, plus comfortable seat and wider tires easily make this the best bike I've ever ridden. The 7 Speed gear option is perfect for our flat terrain and additional features like handbrakes and optional fenders make Townie a solid ride you'll enjoy for years!Kudos to [...] excellent staff too who really cared about my satisfaction.
