If you are an active city dweller, the best, most comfortable choice will be a city bicycle at the Kanclera NAMS bicycle shop Katoļu iela 7, Jelgava or kanclers.lv. A city bicycle is mainly designed for riding on asphalt and cobblestones; the design of a city bicycle makes it comfortable to ride in such conditions. Prices for city bicycles at the Kanclera NAMS bicycle shop Katoļu iela 7, Jelgava or kanclers.lv start from EUR 250 to EUR 600.

1. The main advantage of city bicycles is their simple maintenance, as all parts that can break over time are protected from environmental influences.
2. City bicycles are one of the most widespread types of bicycles in Latvia and Europe, because historically a tradition of bicycle use has developed and city infrastructure has been organised to meet cyclists' needs.
3. City bicycles are compact, with a characteristic low frame shape that makes it easier to start and finish a ride. All of this is so that city bicycles are as comfortable as possible to use in an urban environment.
4. A solid, even, paved road surface will be the most comfortable for moving by city bicycle. They are suitable for relatively short trips and usually have a limited gear range.
5. Typically the wheel diameter of city bicycles is 26 or 28 inches. We recommend choosing 28-inch wheels, as they better overcome various obstacles, such as curbs or unevenness on the roadway.
6. They are usually well equipped with mudguards, a chain guard, a carrier and other accessories. Women particularly like specially made baskets of various materials that can be placed on the handlebars or the carrier. Dress guards are also available.
7. For a comfortable feeling when riding a city bicycle, a high raised handlebar, large wheels and a wide, soft saddle will also help, with easy adjustment of both height and tilt. For quick and comfortable rides to work or other places. It should be noted that city bicycles are quite heavy and, if they need to be carried daily in a multi-storey building without a lift, that may cause difficulties.
