Everytime I go on holiday in Europe I always fantasize about another life for myself than the one I currently have. It’s a life where, instead of running in the rain to board the over crowded train to work, I cycle my vintage style bike in the sun and possibly stop by the bakery for a baguette, and I’m definitely not on my way to work.
The CREATE range of bikes which are now available via Urban Outfitters remind me of this fantasy life. They have that distinct vintage feel without the rusty unreliability of an actual vintage bike! Ok, so they won’t allow you to quit your job and move to mainland Europe where you do nothing but sun yourself and buy baguettes all day, but they do offer a little taste of the good life.
Mr Juicy and I are thinking of going glamping this summer and his and hers CREATE bikes would be perfect for romantic cycles together. My favorite is the brown and white as I think this has the most vintage feel about it. You would definitely get extra hipster points for going for the turquoise and black option though!
Overall I think these bikes are a great modern/vintage hybrid. They have a bit of a vintage look about them but at the same time they are practical enough for everyday use should you be one of those cycle to work types.
Money and practicality aside I would go for the Velorbis Ladies Scrap Deluxe everytime. Wow, what a bike! It is every inch the fantasy baguette buying bike. At £950 though I’m happy to stick with a £340 CREATE bike until I win the lottery!
What do you think of the CREATE bikes?
