I have a Townie Go 8I and also the Townie Commute Go. You will really enjoy the comfort, reliability and performance of the Townie Go. There are plenty of them in Southwest Florida
I have the commute go.
Great bike
Comfortable
Reliable
Disc brakes
Internal rear hub
Intuvia display
Bosch performance mid-drive
Owned and sold by Trek, so there is a great dealer and service network for Electra Townies
I know what you mean about the Townie go. It is a great neighborhood and short errand bike but lacking in riding inclines and somewhat slow. My wife still has hers, and I sold mine and purchased the Townie Commute. It is very upright with the swept back handlebars, has 700c wheels and the mid...
That’s true, but I have used this rack to transport my two townies in my 1300 mile drive from the Midwest to southwest Florida and back every year and never had an issue with it.
I agree with Alaskan that the bikes go into the hotel room with me. Easy on and easy off is the other great feature...
I was loading my bike at the store when an older fella (well older than me) came up and said I was cheating. I laughed and asked how many gears he had on his bike, and he replied that he had 21. I told him that’s cheating since I only have 8. He smiled, laughed and walked away. No hard feelings.

Its good to hear you are still happy with the Verve+. I test rode one last year and was very impressed with the comfort and weight. I don’t think you can go wrong with the Bosch mid-drive. My wife has the Townie Go which is an excellent bike with the Bosch performance motor, but the bike...
I’m fortunate to have a winter place in the Ft Myers Beach Florida area. I don’t ride much on the streets there, but there are plenty of bike paths and wide sidewalks to get around. I can also ride to Sanibel Island which is a very bike friendly community, but can be quite crowded in the...
If the Chinese are blinking, they are thinking. They are one of the bigger bankers for our government. They are cunning enough to gain the upper hand, and are willing to give Trump a faux victory lap. Americans will pay the tariffs which are merely a federal income tax on the Chinese...
I spend quite a bit of time in the summer going through Amish communities in Indiana. I also have a friend that was from an Amish family. He is now a sinner (LOL).
I have a lot of respect for the convictions of their following, but the rules vary from the various Amish groups. I don’t try to...
