Giant Revive

Saw one of these at the LBS this weekend. I can't decide if it's the dorkiest thing I've ever seen or the most innovative idea for comfort/utility cycling to come out in a long time.

I felt the same way you do when I saw it. It reminds me too much of a child's bike, though; small wheels, storage surface in the back, etc. It may be good for short erans, but I don't think anybody but senior citizens would be caught dead in one.

BTW you have to take into consideration the fact that Giant's largest market is in East Asia (the CEO is Taiwanese, I believe). Most people over there have no need nor money for a $2000+ carbon fiber bike. Maybe the bike is tailored towards their lifestyles.

Who knows.
