I saw this bicycle at the store I work at and it spoke to me. It seems a bit pricy for a bicycle, but I love the style. I might get it. What do you think?

I have always been against having a bike with places to carry stuff on the tires like most bikes do nowadays, but that is because of how often I had to tell customers that the frame is damaged from putting too much weight on the bike. Of course that was when I used to repair bikes. Personally I like the Phat Cycles in style.

Yeah, I like the old vibe I get from it. You can definitely tell it's German too, I like that old German style.

quite practical if you don't need more gears
for hills and such and you're in no hurry.
lots of rack space for tiedowns
and a chain guard to protect your pant legs,
nice big soft tires for a smooth ride, only
missing the wet bar,,,

Good point to remember. I really don't see it being all that practical to put anything too heavy on the bike racks anyway. The weight is going to affect how you drive the bike.

Don't they have trailers and such you can get for bicycles?
