Named after one of iZip's favorite beaches in the Seattle area, the Alki 2 Step Thru is focused on function, delivering the best of both worlds - a comfortable upright riding position plus narrower tires and larger rims for efficient, longer distance city riding and commuting. Made with a rack- and fender-ready aluminum frame and fork, the Alki 2 Step Thru is lightweight yet prepared to haul both you and your gear. The Shimano EZ Fire Plus 8-speed trigger shifter offer 24 gears without ever having to move your hands, and the soft comfort saddle, no slip pedals, and comfort grips will keep all your contact points with the bike comfy and happy. Distance, durability, comfort, quality, and great value all come together in the Alki 2 Step Thru.
