Here are five attributes that might make a Rivendell the perfect bike for you!

It's An All Day Bike:
It's an all-day bike that you can ride all day long in comfort because, by design, a country bike puts the handlebars at least as high as the saddle, higher if you prefer, to take the weight off of your hands, eliminating strain on your arms, neck and lower back.




Any Surface Will Do:
Road, path or trail, a country bike rolls over the miles. It's the tires-from 32 mm to 40 mm wide and with air pressures as low as 50 psi, so there is enough soft air to absorb road shocks and bumps way before they get a chance to get to you. If you've never ridden a light weight puffy tire you're in for a revelation that provides a dramatically more comfortable way to ride.


Any Ride or Task: 
Versatile enough for roads, paths, trails, commuting, light touring, running errands, just noodling around or quick club rides. That's a country bike.



Rain Or Shine: 
A country bike loves fenders. You might not enjoy getting caught in the rain but you'll tolerate it a lot better on a bike with fenders.


Thrilled About Hills? 
It's the country bike gearing that allows you to enjoy hills instead of dread them. A country bike has the gearing that is better for cyclist that don't race. If you don't race, the standard high gear you'll find on virtually on any stock bike will be to high. And the low gears won't be anywhere close to low enough if you hit the hills. Sensible gearing makes sense: we think so anyway.
