If you’ve ever commuted by bicycle in the city, you know just how great it can be. The benefits for the environment (and your pocketbook!) alone simply cannot be understated. On the flip side, however, bike commuters are also intimately familiar with all the hassles that their cycles present in the midst of the urban setting. Large, clunky, and unwieldy, the average bicycle simply doesn’t do well with elevators, staircases, office spaces, and modes of public transportation such as busses and subways.
A leading manufacturer of all kinds of bikes for nearly half a century, Cannondale has released a new model that is specifically built to meet the unique demands of city life. Marketed under the name the Hooligan 1, this lightweight and highly maneuverable bike features far smaller wheels and a compact Delta V frame configuration to provide a quick, zippy feel that makes every trip more fun. And when the ride is done, the Cannondale Hooligan 1 is exceptionally easy to load into tight spaces and/or carry up to your apartment or workplace.
This three-speed bike is powered by a Shimano Nexus drivetrain and a Shimano Nexus Revo shifting system. Other features of the Cannondale Hooligan 1 include mechanical disc brakes, a rigid Solo Lefty fork, non-slip Kraton-covered pedals, a Prowheel Ounce single ring crank, and 20-inch by 1.5-inch Kenda Kwest tires.
