My inaugural experience riding the Spot Acme wasn’t about navigating congested streets or pausing at traffic signals. There was no rush, and no set destination in mind. It was simply a leisurely cruise at a neighborhood pace, a moment of solitude with my thoughts. The Acme’s flat bar and endurance-inspired geometry positioned me more forward than a traditional upright city bike, yet I found myself embracing the same relaxed cadence, never feeling compelled to accelerate.
However, a subsequent ride at a brisker tempo with a friend revealed another facet of the Acme. It effortlessly navigated busy streets, conquered winding paths with ease, and responded eagerly to every green light. It even allowed for moments of deceleration, like when we spotted a gentleman sporting an incredible head of white hair, clearly a devoted fan of Whitesnake from their prime.
If the initial investment of $2,000 for a city bike seems steep, consider this: you could opt for a less expensive option that might appear and perform well initially, but lack the component quality to endure daily use. Alternatively, you could choose a bike from Spot Bikes, a family-operated company nestled in Golden, Colorado, with a rich heritage in cycling design, engineering, and innovation. The Acme is a testament to this dedication. It’s a robust, unassuming bike that prioritizes quality and comfort without compromising on any aspect. Spot Bikes are truly designed for riders who value both performance and longevity in their urban cycling experience.
