Lifestyle bikes are for those of us who aren't as hardcore as mountain bikers or roadies, but who still want to get out and ride.

Cross-Over: Combining Off-road and On-road Functionality The growing popularity of 29er mountain bikes that use 700c wheels has spawned a neat concept: A mountain bike designed for the road and sold with road-specific tires, BUT -- swap out the road tires for a set of 29er mountain bike tires, and you have a bike that's ready for serious trail riding.
Keeping it Simple: The 7-speed Customer favorite: Suppose you just want a bike to get around town? Keep the bike as simple as possible, but have enough gears so you don't have to get off and walk. Our 7-speeds have:
