Link D7i
The Stealthy One
Why not trade $4.00 gas, monthly insurance, parking fees, and traffic jams for a stealthy cool Link bicycle, daily workouts, and a car-sharing service? The Link D7i is perfect for getting around in the city; for longer trips, just fold it and jump on the nearest subway or bus line. And Costco runs — that’s what ZipCar or your friend’s car is for.

"The eight-speed derailleur has a comfortable range of gears (32 to 85 gear inches), which helped me ascend some of the steeper hills with relative ease. The frame was stiff and responsive and the oversized seat post had very little flex. The handling is stable and the v-brakes worked flawlessly during testing. This bike is a very good value for what you get."
