Trek District

Because this week is Bike-to-Work Week, and Friday is Bike-to-Work Day I’m following Capree’s example and sharing my favorite bike, the Trek District. Not only is the bike absolutely beautiful but is also has a belt drive instead of a chain drive which makes for a perfectly silent, and grease free ride. The District was originally scheduled to ship in November of last year but these beautiful bikes are just barely getting into the hands of customers now. TrekDistrict.com has some great reviews from some of the first buyers in Holland, Paris and New York. In my opinion everything about this bike is perfect except the hard to swallow $900 price tag.

Check out TrekDistrict.com for reviews and photo’s.

What’s your favorite bike? Are you riding to work this week?

    The Giant Transend is a good commuter bike, and it’s more “grassroots” with the lower models priced about half of what the District costs.

    The James Perse Cruiser might get me back into city riding since my Trek Y-33 was stolen. Talk about a hefty price tag though.

    I’ve been wanting belt drive bike for a while and the Trek version looks great. Way overpriced. How can a one gear bike cost $900?

    The James Perse Cruiser is a waste of money. It is just a repainted Felt Magno and then the high price tag is added on..you could do the same thing by buying the Magno and powder coating for less than half the price…same bike…same look
