Here the 6 of the Best and Most Affordable Commuter Bikes Right Now

Specialized Roll 3.0, $999

This iconic American brand turns out some fantastic bicycles in all categories, and as of late has been concentrating more on urban cycling with a new cargo bike and other models.

The Specialized Roll 3.0 comes in a lightweight alloy diamond frame and low-entry step-through frame. Also of note, the wide and smooth-riding 650b tires, hydraulic disc brakes and eight-speed cassette.

We love that it is a seriously low-entry model that will appeal to those with tight hips and hamstrings that make it difficult to swing a leg across traditional bicycle frames.

Of note for commuters, the spring suspension seat post and comfort gel saddle should provide a comfortable ride for those daily trips.

Priority Eight, $999

Priority Bicycles, the New York-based trailblazer in bike innovation, is set to launch its latest offering, the Eight, on Jan. 16. Aptly named for its low-maintenance, internally geared 8-speed hub, the Eight promises riders a high-performance sports hybrid designed for unbeatable speed, comfort, and ease of use.

Engineered with Priority’s signature Gates Carbon Drive Belt, a performance Shimano 8-speed Alfine rear hub, and featuring an aluminum frame and carbon fiber fork, the Eight ensures a responsive and comfortable ride. This new model eliminates the need for seasonal tune-ups, providing a hassle-free biking experience for riders of all levels.

The Eight comes just in time for the new year, offering riders the perfect combination of style and functionality. This sports hybrid is positioned as the go-to choice for fitness, recreational, and commuting needs. Emily, a representative from Priority Bicycles, stated, “Consumers can take advantage of a limited-time $100 off launch special of $899 now through January 21.”

Brooklyn Bicycle Co Bedford 8 Speed, $599

This stylish gem features an upright and comfortable riding position and eight speeds to tackle a wide variety of terrain.

The Bedford is equipped with mounting points to handle the addition of a variety of accessories for commuting. In addition, the 32mm puncture-resistant tires are ideal for a smooth ride whether on a daily for work or to tool around the nabe in style on the weekend.

We love the matching vegan leather saddle and grips that punctuate a fetching city bike that offers enough performance to handle a daily commute while also providing a fun and simple bike for recreation.
