No offense to hard-core mountain bikers or spandex-clad Armstrong wannabes, but there's such thing as overkill. After all, most of the time you hop on a bike, you're looking to get from point A to point B, to take in a little air, or maybe just avoid a DUI. Do you really need a tricked-out, single-track-devouring steed in those situations? Of course not. Dial the intensity back a bit and pick up one of these easy-riding, smartly designed commuters. Helmet optional, spandex forbidden.
