For some reason, a lot of so-called comfort bikes end up being, well, klunky. Like orthopedic shoes. it’s as if the designers forgot all about the things that make good bikes fun to ride, things like effortless speed, stability and cornering confidence. Not us.

We believe cycling is all about fun, and that it’s possible to build a bike that emphasizes comfort but preserves the full cycling experience, the simple joy of a bike ride. So while Citizen gets wide, cushy tires they’re still a fairly narrow 38mm so they don’t feel heavy and have some zip. And we go with anatomically designed, supportive saddles that are wide enough for comfort, but not so broad that they interfere with a biomechanically sound pedal stroke.
