text: The urban line of bikes from Opus will help you haul cargo, fly up hills, and arrive at work on time.
  Opus has invested a lot into the urban cycling market knowing that the social benefits of getting people out of cars and onto bikes is not only better for the environment but the community as well. With their wide range of city bikes they can cater to the growing market and meet the needs of different types of riders so anyone can find a bike that suits their riding style.
  Opus’ city and electric lineup take urban performance to a whole new level. Whether you’re running errands, commuting to work, going for a family ride, or a relaxing an evening cruise, Opus provides practical and affordable bikes that stand up to the daily grind of city living. Below are 5 bikes from Opus that will meet the needs of any city cyclists or you can explore their entire line of city bikes here.
  Electric bikes can help people overcome some of the challenges that prevent them from using a bike in their daily life. Whether the barrier(s) they face is hilly terrain, not wanting to arrive at work sweaty, or a long commute, among many others, an e-bike can make getting around the city by bicycle accessible and fun for all.
  Showcasing the Shimano STEPS system, the sporty Opus WKND does triple duty on commutes, workouts and fun rides. The light, hydroformed alloy frame has the stiffness to react instantly to pedal input. Result — an uncannily responsive ride. The STEPS system’s downtube battery, concealed cables and aero wheels also make the WKND look as fast as it feels. Saddle up and never wait for the weekend again!
  The upright positioning and the flat handlebar makes it a perfect bike for commuting to work or just riding for fun and fitness. Add the 20-speed Shimano drivetrain, and that commute doesn’t seem so long, that last hill doesn’t seem so steep, and taking the longer route home seems a little more appealing. Plus, a quality stem, seatpost, and handlebar from Opus round out the build and you’ll knock off the miles in comfort on the Opus saddle.
  The perfect city bike should provide hassle-free riding no matter the season, weather, or time of day. While you can get around the city on any bike in working order, there are a few features that will make your commute, your errands, and your general enjoyment of your bicycle as easy as possible.
  The Orpheo LRT is the perfect Lightweight Rapid Transport for your daily commute. Full fenders offer superior protection, while powerful hydraulic disc brakes stop you safely in all weather. Opus added flat-resistant tires to make sure you arrive on time, a rust-resistant chain for year-round service, and a rear rack with built-in storage for your U-lock. Meanwhile, the LRT’s stealth looks keep your new ride under the urban radar.
  Since marrying classic bike styling and modern materials in their Classico line, they’ve stepped up their game and shed some pounds off of the all-new Lightweight Women edition to make your ride even more pleasant. With its extra-light alloy materials, low step-through geometry and fresh look, this bike delivers as your most charming city companion.
  If you have to pick up your bike to go up a few stairs or load it onto a bike rack on the bus on a regular basis the weight of this bike is a huge benefit. You’ll fall in love with how much quicker you can get up that hill. They weight also helps you to ride farther because it takes less energy. In fact the lighter and faster bike will make you want to ride further.
  The 7-speed drivetrain on this urban steel bike provides versatility and range. Still faithful to the tradition of French touring bikes, the Moly 7D’s 650b wheels and upright position yield unparalleled comfort and control. The perfectly proportioned wheels and easy step-through height, combined with spring saddle and custom grips, make the Moly 7D an instant classic.
  Equipped with fenders, full chainguard and rack mounts this bike ticks many of the boxes on our City Bicycle Checklist. Just add a rack and this bike is perfect for holding your groceries, work materials, and whatever else you haul around the city on a regular basis.
  Great idea Shannon! Can you/are you willing to share what was on your list of 14 Love Jobs. I would love to see the list!
  This is a fantastic idea; and I would like to make it a tradition in our house, too (Liliana will be old enough next year).
