City bikes have many or all of the following features that distinguish them from road, MTB, tour, cross, hybrid, comfort, and “commuter” bike categories:

  • Handlebars neither straight nor dropped, but sweeping rearward to support a comfortably upright posture
  • Relaxed seat tube angles to remove stress from hands and arms, and to make it easy to place a foot down at stops while remaining seated
  • High volume, smooth tires for comfort, low rolling resistance, and grip on urban pavement
  • Cargo racks
  • Kickstands, for stability in loading cargo, children
  • Platform pedals
  • Full fenders as a component, not an accessory, for plain-clothes friendliness and lower maintenance
  • Guarded or encased chains, also for plain-clothes friendliness and lower maintenance
  • Integrated (generator) lighting, front and rear, for safety and peace of mind
  • Built-in locks. See the theme? Never need to change clothes, hunt for lights, clips, locks, etc. to go by bike.
  • Internal hub gearing for cleanly low maintenance and the ability to change gears while stopped
  • A bell
  • No mechanical suspension
  • No low-spoke-count wheels
  • No exotic materials
  • No aerodynamic anything
