The focus has largely been on utility bikes yet it seems to me that the leisure sector is where the big growth is. The fatter the tires, the better.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-131485\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2015\/09\/21-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>S-pedelecs<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>E-bikes are driving the continued growth of the bicycle market in Europe. Now, with the emerging class of speed pedelecs, they\u2019re hitting new levels of sophistication and speed up to 45 km\/h making them an appealing alternative to cars or scooters.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-131486\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2015\/09\/31-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>Gravel Bikes<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>There&#8217;s a lot of talk about gravel bikes. The greatest thing about them is they&#8217;re built in so many different shapes and models. They start in the 29er bikepacking hinterlands and stretch all the way to the fast road disc bikes. So there&#8217;s something for everyone. Also the related cyclo-cross bike continues to evolve, or actually turn into a touring bike with fatter tyres, or a 29er mountain bike with drop bars.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Carbon parts for the masses<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Once enjoyed by the privileged few sponsored racers, carbon rims and another parts are becoming increasingly common on mountain and road bikes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-131487\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2015\/09\/41-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>Bright colors<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>It looks like we\u2019ll get some brightness on our bikes for the next couple of years. Some people, like Mondraker, are mostly using the neon as a highlight colour in greater or lesser quantities&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-131488\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2015\/09\/51-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>Custom made bikes<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>There are companies producing thousands of bikes in Taiwan. Basically they\u2019re very good, one of the best in the world actually. But there are more and more small garage workshops that go against the stream. Instead of mass producing, they focus on building unique frames and designs that reflect riders needs. An example of this are the excellent bikes from Festka.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-131489\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2015\/09\/61-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>Fine products<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Many cyclists are OK with mass produced saddles but many want something more. English Brooks is now followed by other companies like Gilles Berthoud. They work with high quality materials and because of the natural finish, every saddle is a true original. Unlike the mass produced pieces the leather is bolted onto the frame instead of riveting, making it easy to repair if necessary.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-131490\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2015\/09\/7-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>Incorporated locks<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Tired of riding with a heavy lock or steel chain in your backpack? Engineers of today come with help. There are some differing solutions. One relies on the lock incorporated in your seat post. For commuting it seems like a useful idea!\u00a0We will actually pay a lot of attention to locks and theft prevention later this year.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-131491\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2015\/09\/8-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>Cargo bikes<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Too heavy to carry on your bike? You need a cargo bike. Too tired to transport a heavy load on a cargo bike? Buy an e-cargo bike!
