Utility Bike Comparison

Posted by Phil G-E on October 25, 2008

Roy Wallack wrote an article comparing Sport Utility Bikes in the Los Angeles Times on October 6th. According to the Times, Irvine-based endurance cyclist Roy M. Wallack is the co-author of “Bike for Life: How to Ride to 100.” The article looks at the Yuba Mundo, Surly Big Dummy, Xtracycle FreeRadical Conversion Kit, and the Kona AfricaBike One.

I’m biased – I primarily ride an Xtracycle modified bike and love it for it’s stability and utility. It’s no curb jumper, but does make an excellent “station wagon/pick-up truck.”
