Electra Bikes
Although Electra is a brand rather than a type of bicycle, we've given them their own category because they don't really fit into any others. Their Townies and Amsterdam bikes are sort of comfort bikes, sort of cruisers, but not exactly. They are, however, exactly stylin'. Scroll down for a small sample of their bikes. Stroll in for a test drive. We think you'll love these bikes.
Townie Euro 8D
$600
There are lots of reasons to like the Townie 8D. The slightly narrower 700c size wheels and ridgid fork give it a light, responsive ride. The fenders give it a clean, finished look. The luggage rack makes the bike practical, and the eight derailleur-type gears give it enough gears for the hills around here, but keep it simple to operate. We think the Townie 8D is a smart bike!

Townie Original 7D
$425
In the vein of "less is more", we offer the Townie 7D. It's fewer gears make for both simpler operation and a smaller price tag, but it still has plenty of low gear for the hills around here. Come test ride one, and see why it is our most popular Townie. (The ladies model is also available in orange, vivid blue, eggplant, and sage. The mens model is also available in silver and vivid blue.)

Townie Euro 3i (700c)
$600
We added the Townie 3 to the lineup this year simply because it was irresistible. The 700c size wheels, the fenders, and the easy to operate three speeds, give it an elegance and simplicity we could not pass up. We think you'll agree.

The Amsterdam Classic 3i
$500 to $1000
As the name suggests, The Amsterdam is styled after the original utilitarian bikes of Amsterdam. The three speed coaster brake transmission lends reliability and simplicity of operation. The "cool" factor is a bonus. The price varies by the model and features. Some models have a high style color scheme, for example, while others include accessories such as a generator light, luggage rack, and wheel skirts. Here's a models we keep in stock. See all of the Amsterdams on Electra's website.

Cruisers
Electra offers a huge selection of cruisers. Although, they are hands-down the coolest, best looking cruisers out there, we don't sell a lot of them in Atlanta because of the hills. Nonetheless, we keep the Gigi in stock (because she is simply irresistible). We do have the entire line availabe to us though. Check them out. If you see one you want, we can get it for you in just a couple of days.
Gigi
$600
The Gigi is Electra's all time best selling cruiser. You can see why! Besides the good looks, it comes with a luggage rack and fenders. With the three easy-to-operate gears and coaster brakes, you'll hardly have to think about how to operate it. All you'll have to think about is how good this bike looks on you!
