Confirmation out of Trek today that the bike will ship Feb. 1st! They upped the pricing by about 100 dollars. And it sounds like the basket will be included with the 8 speed model but will NOT be available aftermarket. Expect limited availability too.

Being higher off the road is apparently safer for shoulder checking – and to learn more about how that beautiful basket will affect the ride, check out what the Ecstatic Mechanic has to say:

“Matthew Grimm, of Kogswell Cycles, recently came up with a new tag line for his website: the fork IS the frame. No, he’s not confused; Grimm is talking about Kogswell’s latest offering: the much hyped and ballyhooed Porteur/Randonneur frame. Specifically, he’s talking about the fact that, upon buying a frame, a customer may choose from three different forks, depending on the application planned for the new ride. The only physical difference between the three forks is their rake, or offset.”

if you are getting run off the road while riding I would seriously contact your local government..alderman are a great place to start or city council. You would be suprised how much attention could get because those folks are often looking for a neighborhood cause to support. Of note, places with great bicycle influence and awareness, like Madison, WI, Chicago, Marin and the Twin Cities, have people who are very active in their community promoting bicycle friendly initiatives.

Remember, the goal isn’t to polarize drivers (critMass) it is to show others that bicycling is fun, practical and healthy. I cannot state enough that the more drivers see people riding bicycles the more they are curtious and the faster that they themselves might see themselves riding a bike on the roads!

If all else fails, move to Madison!

Bikecommutr—why would someone run you off the road on this bike? Because it has a basket? I don’t think that would make it any more of a target. Don’t think the seat’s too high on the Fisher—but it is on the Masi.

I can see myself getting run off the road on this bike. As others have stated, isn’t that seat a bit too high for commuting?

It looks nothing like the Kogswell P/R. Granted I am debating subtleties but simply because it is a Simple 700c city bike frame with fenders and a front rack???? The Kogswell has a riser Ahead stem, derrailleurs, different bars, etc. The front rack and fender flaps are completely different too. Saying they look alike would be like saying the Kogswell bike looks like every American city bike from the seventies which is to say that the Fisher, the Kogswell, some Vanilla’s, the new Nirves, most of the Breezers and all of the Schwinns from the seventies are American City bikes.

Looks like an ideal machine — though doesn’t a front rack, especially one that big, make for lousy handling? Let’s hope it is optional, or at least removeable. I applaud the chain guard — i currently ride the Trek L200, available in U.S. for only a couple of years, with a complete Dutch-style chain guard. It’s a hassle to take on and off for maintenance, but some kind of chain guard is essential for me
