Jamis Commuter 1 (2012)

Commuter is the hip new in-town runabout for the enlightened, a way to bridge the gap between work and home, neighborhood errands and nearby locales.

The name might sound too pedestrian or businesslike, but don’t be fooled. Our Commuters may be designed for the business of shuttling you around town, but they’re much more than all-business. These are bikes that get you there with style and flair.

Full fenders, rear carriers, micro bells and pant guards (chainring-mounted pants guard on Commuter 2 and 1, full-length chainguard on Commuter 4 and 3) mean these bikes are ready for the inner city shuffle, to get you where you’re going so you arrive lookin’ good and with everything you need for the day. Big 700c tires mean less rolling resistance and a smoother ride; just dial in your revolutionary Nuvinci or reliable Shimano speed with the twist shifter, step down on those big-platform pedals with the no-slip inserts, and you’re practically there already.
