Lifestyle bikes are very good for practical cycling at low to moderate speeds, such as for commuting, errands, deliveries, and other personal transportation. Their upright posture, sometimes known as the 'sit & beg' position is comfortable, and the bikes themselves tend to be extremely low-maintenance and steady under heavy loads.
Usually equipped with a basket at the front, these provide useful storage space if you are popping to the shops or using it as a means of transport around college or university.
Most lifestyle bikes feature a low, or step-through-style frame, which allows for easy mounting and dismounting. This design is especially handy for riders who ride in more formal or rigid attire, or pedal routes where stopping is frequent.
