The bicycle is becoming more and more important. Whether to get to work or for leisure activities – near the city, the bicycle is still the best option. This way you can get from one place to the next in a relaxed way.
Cycling bypasses the problems of traffic jams, does something for your own fitness and is fun at the same time. With so many bikes to choose from, you’re spoiled for choice – so here are For Legends‘ favorite city bikes.
The Fixie Bike from Siech Cycles in Switzerland is perfect for the short ride in the flat country from A to B with only one gear. That’s why the Fixie – also known as Singlespeed – is a popular lifestyle accessory. The single-speed bike is available in chrome, black or bronze. But beware! Due to high demand, delivery delays are to be expected. Therefore, you should definitely subscribe to the newsletter to be able to strike directly at the next release. An insider tip from us!
Already knew? Fixies originally come from track racing and therefore invite you to ride fast. For this reason, safety is the top priority. The Egomovement helmet offers the necessary protection and is the perfect companion for a fast ride to the office or to the other side of town. The helmet itself is also equipped with an anti-theft device and is thus directly coupled to the lock.
“NOTHING COMPARES TO THE SIMPLE PLEASURE OF RIDING A BIKE”
JOHN F. KENNEDY
Inspired by the beach culture of the surfing resort of Leucadia, German bike pioneers Benno Bänziger and Jeano Erforth developed the new art form on wheels: Beach-Cruisers. Under the California sun, they revived the American cruiser. Fun on bikes has been their driving force ever since, and that still goes down well 25 years after the start. Electra strives to combine fun, style and quality.
And that’s exactly why the bike fever grips you when you can jet through the city or along the lake on Electra’s beach cruisers. The Cruiser Lux Fat Tire 7D Step-Over rides as casually as it looks. A classic cruiser that simply steps over gravel, snow and sand – and swallows almost any curb to boot. A colored version of the Beach Cruiser can be found in Andy Warhol style with the Andi 3i-model. The limited model of the Fashion Cruiser presents itself in pop art style and becomes an eye-catcher on every ride!
Electra is also surfing the wave of the e-bike revolution. With the powerful drive of Bosch technology, riding fun is catapulted to a new level. Two models from For Legends in particular catch our eye: the Ace of Spades Go and the Navigator Go! These two bikes invite you for real adventures with their extra speed.
Sporty-elegant jetting through the city? The Urban Mobility Parka Gregor from Caduff protects against skin abrasions in the event of a fall thanks to its specially developed fabric when riding at speeds of up to 45 km/h. In addition, it is wind- and water-repellent and can be perfectly combined with a suit. So chic and at the same time functionally dressed you can be seen in the city center and roll in style past favourite corners!
Fixie, retro bike or beach cruiser? The choice of bike depends on individual needs. If you want more speed, the fixie from Siech Cycles is the best choice and can whiz through the streets. Those who pay particular attention to looks choose the old-school bike from Gazelle. The favorite of For Legends is the Andi-3i cruiser, because this bike is guaranteed to always put you in a good mood thanks to its colorful design! No matter which model you choose: With this favorite, everything else can be forgotten as soon as you pedal. When the wind whistles around the bet and the feeling of freedom on the bike saddle, only the here and now counts.
