As many have suggested I am planning to get out to an LBS or two this weekend and try out some bikes and see what will work for me. I have time, closing isn’t until late June. The Dualie is indeed a two speed bike and I’m hoping it will indeed find a nice little spot that makes me happy, we will see.
Stop on by the shop this weekend. We’ll be here with at least 3 options from Spot, though no Dualies. We had one in the shop this week as a special order and from my very short test of it I can say this: It is a great bike on flat ground. The Sturmey-Archer hub has “drive” and “overdrive”. There is not a drive gear and a “bailout” gear. The bike is very light, leading to easy hill ascents. I would have to ask Spot if they made it easy to install racks as I didn’t check the last one to see if it had braze-ons.
