Less kick/push, more coast...

Whilst I in no way condond this as a first choice of man(or woman, I'm very sensitive... ladies)-powered transportation, as that should always be a radical skateboard, these bikes are very choice. Being fully customisable, I've literally spent a few hours changing around the colour combinations on the base model to come up with something awesome before realising that I am horrendously colourblind. It's like the kid in art class that no matter how many times they try to paint the beautiful butterfly to prove he's special to mummy, it always ends up as a brown blob. The bad news is now that brown blob is the bike you just designed and bought, the one you though was super cool until you took it for its maiden ride and you see the vicious whispers start to spread. It's only a matter of time now until you hear the school bell ring and find your new ride in a tree while the kids on the lacross team yell 'pushbike pansy' while running laps around you like a human peloton. Man high school was rough.

But these rides are one way to avoid that whole (ficticious) situation. Republic Bike ensure that each model is hand assembled to your colour specifications, crank configuration (fixed or single speed) and delivered right to your door. A short period and little more than IKEA furniture building skills later you can be coasting along on your awesome new bike thinking; yeah,this is radical. Just try to design something better than the kid from art class.
