This budget boulevardier steers well clear of the compromises that derail other entry-level bikes. The Avenue delivers a comfortable and stable ride, with a relaxed, upright position and easy 21-speed shifting and braking control. It also comes in six sizes, including an extra-tall 23-inch version and two step-through sizes, so almost everyone is welcome to hop on and enjoy a bike that fits. If this is all the bike you need, or all you can afford, go for it. You won’t regret having the Avenue to get you around town and out for some exercise. Both frames available in either color.
Highlights: Bianchi chrome-moly steel frame with rack mounts. SRAM 21-speed shifting. Kenda Kwest 700x38C tires. Bianchi Velo Supersoft saddle.
