Roo D3/D7
Perfect for
  • Lunch rides to that great new café.
  • Weekend trips to the flower market.
  • Riding to the bus stop.
  • Bringing with you into a restaurant and hiding it behind your seat.
When you head down the street for a coffee, why not do it in style? The graceful, curving lines of the Roo make it easy to overlook the fact that it is also a wonderful utility bicycle that will help you do your errands around town. The low step frame encourages using it as your main mode of short distance transportation. Solidly-built and reasonably priced.
