City slickers: these are the online bicycle shops in South Africa for you
As we said before, more and more cyclists are taking to the tarmac and transforming the way that people get around the city. Are you cycling to work to cut down on emissions? Trying to get fit? Or just because parking is an A-grade nightmare? Either way, you’ll want a bike that is built for your needs. We’ve got a selection of road bikes from online bicycle shops in South Africa coming right up!
Road bikes for the city cyclist
When we talk about city cycling, it’s impossible not to talk about Simple SAM Bicycles. Simple SAM strives to bring high-quality single-speed and city bicycles to cyclists like you without breaking the bank. As their name suggests, they’ve stripped cycling of all the bells and whistles – in the best possible way.
You can check out their range of Simple City bicycles for a commuter bicycle designed to give you a little extra help on the uphills. The classic road bike City Bicycle features a 16-speed Shimano drivetrain, hi-ten steep step-through frame and fork, and high-polished fenders.
If you’re looking for something even simpler, we can’t recommend the original Simple SAM range. SAM stands for single-speed + aluminium + mobility. It’s straightforward, simple, and classic. It’s cycling at its best! Their range of beautifully and locally designed bicycles comes in a range of modern colours, sure to stand out on any pavement.
On the subject of locally-designed road bikes, we owe a special mention to Rook Cycles! The Rook One range offers riders several hi-ten steel-frame machines built to last as long as you do on the road. For the commuter, Rook has also designed the Rook Shift range. These bikes are inspired by minimalist, Japanese design, combining Rook’s signature geometry with the versatility of an 8-speed drivetrain.
