The Ikea Bicycle (gears)

[verybadgnome]

IKEA Made a Bike
IKEA to launch their first bicycle

Four takeaways for me:

chain drive (I've tried one and liked it)
auto gearshift (I'm skeptical)
pedal brakes for rear wheel mentioned in second link
flat packed

I'm sure bike shops are gonna love when this shows up for service, but I'm glad for having more options.

I never liked their furniture (or meatballs) so probably wouldn't like their bike/s. But hey, good luck to them. I'm sure people will buy them because that's what people do. I get it though - it's a good part of their image.

I wonder if all you need to assemble is that 3mm Allen key? It looks like it costs around $650.00. That seems a bit much from what I can tell from the links.

Buy your bike from people that build bikes, and your furniture from people who build furniture.
