commuter bike

Daily ride vehicle

A commuter bike is a bicycle designed for everyday transportation rather than sport or recreation.

It typically features practical elements like fenders, racks, lights, and an upright riding position for comfort in street clothes.

Commuter bikes prioritize durability and low maintenance over speed or weight: I switched to a commuter bike to get to work without arriving sweaty.
