Commuter
A commuter bike is designed solely with the purpose of getting its rider to work and back daily and with minimal fuss and maintenance. This genre of bike arguably takes more abuse than all of the others combined as it tends to be ridden all year round, through all weather conditions with little-to-no love or care shown.
Neutral colours, practical features, thick puncture-protected tyres and relaxed positions are standard on this genre of bike, but that's all! Commuter bikes are as diverse as their riders and all the better for it.
Internal hub gears are popular on commuter bikes as they offer a variety of gears with little maintenance, and a pannier rack and mudguards are also recommended.
