Today the urban mobility specialist, Tern Bicycles, released their new NBD. The NBD has an ultra-low step-through frame that offers a lower center of gravity that was designed to bring that New Bike Day joy to a wider range of bike riders. Tern has been releasing some great bikes as of late–back at the beginning of the month, I had just covered their latest cargo bike, the Short Haul. Check it out.
The NBD also has an adjustable cockpit that Tern says only takes seconds to resize, allowing riders from 4’10” to 6’3″ tall to share the same bike…good for the whole family!
Josh Hon, Tern’s Team Captain says “Our mission is to get people to replace car trips with bike trips. He continues, “In order to do that, we need to make biking more accessible, comfortable, and safe for everybody. The NBD does that and our entire team is proud to have created something that will bring the joy and practicality of cycling to a wider range of people. To the average rider, the NBD will be an amazingly easy-to-handle, easy-to-ride bike that fits wonderfully into crowded urban settings.”
