Happy new bike day!

This wasn’t exactly planned, but REI had their Gotham City bike on a great sale so we got mamma a new bike!

Shimano disc brakes. Dynamo hub. Rack. Fenders….and a very cool and super easy (and cool) continuous infinite internal hub gear drive system with carbon belt “chain”.

So now we are all set for a summer of family rides.

Let me know how you end up liking the Gotham. It is high on my list of potential acquisitions.

I’ve admired those REI commuters for a while. Love the dynamo, IGH, and belt drive! If I could relax on my commute instead of pounding around in the big ring all the time, I’d consider getting one myself.

Many congrats on the new Sethpro “baby”.

We got it for my wife but I rode it a bit. The gearless drive is really something. Super smooth and easy and so different than individual gears.

With the sealed hub and carbon belt it should be super low maintenance. We got the last year’s model with steal frame. New model is lighter alum.
