    Low Maintenance Setups

    I've picked these bikes because they're built to be easy to live with. Belt drives instead of chains, internal hub gears that shrug off the weather, and components designed for years of reliable use without constant fettling. If you want a bike that just works, day after day, these are the ones I'd point you towards.
