8 Smart bikes to make your commute easier than ever

With more and more people biking to work, the technology of bikes has only improved. From seamless navigation to ultra-light frames to bikes that fold down in seconds, e-bikes are here to simplify your commute.

• Is biking to work better than driving? It depends on your commute. It can save you from traffic jams and cramped subway rides. Regardless, biking to work has actually increased by 60% in the last decade, which does help the environment.
• How can you navigate faster when on your bike? You can either choose to use your phone on a sturdy bike mount or use a smart bike GPS system.
• What’s the best way to stay visible while riding at night? We’d recommend an LED cycling vest to keep yourself visible even in the dark.

Let’s be frank: commuting to and from work is the worst. From traffic to crowded spaces to the cost of the commute, it can drain you before you even get to the office.
