Review of Priority Bicycles

Customer service was responsive and knowledgeable,...

Customer service was responsive and knowledgeable, shipping was fast. I wanted a clean, comfortable, low-maintenance bike with a step-through frame that would be suitable for child transport and generally getting around town. I got the Classic Plus and it fits the bill pretty much perfectly. I especially love the belt drive.

Some thoughts:
-The riding position is completely upright and very comfortable.
-The coaster brakes take a bit of getting used to - they will skid if you try to slam on the brakes, but they're fine if you brake a bit more gently. I'm glad that there's a front hand brake as well.
-The gearing is set so that the bike is always pretty easy to pedal - even the highest gear only gets up to a moderate speed. This works well for me since I'll be carrying a heavy kid most of the time, but you won't be going anywhere terribly fast on this bike.
- I wish that there were a chain guard included.

Overall I'm delighted with the bike. Nothing else I looked at came close to meeting my requirements for such a low price.
