Urban Utility Bikes

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.

- 7005 aluminum frame with customdrawn Sonus tubing is light and strong.
- The GroundFloor™ low step frame design makes getting on and off the bike easy - perfect for new riders.
- Equipped with a Dahon Neos rear derailleur that features crisp, fast shifting and a low profile design that is protected from damage. (D7 model)
