Shouldn’t all bikes be comfortable? You would think so, but many types of bicycle are designed for specific types of riding. Comfort bikes are designed specifically to be very easy and comfortable to ride. The riding position is more upright, putting less stress on the back, hips, shoulders and arms. These bikes also have cushy saddles and grips, easy shifting gears, and often suspension forks as well.
Here's a bike which won't break the bank. Even with it being inexpensive it will share components you could find on some of the more expensive bicycles. Don't overlook this baby just because it doesn't cost much...
