(More customer reviews)Bought this bike to start exercising again and get back in shape. Gained alot of weight due to an injury. Needed a bike that was comfortable and could support me. Been riding about 3 miles per day, 4 days per week, for about 6 months now and no problems at all. Bike is very comfortable. When you buy this bike, I had the option of the curved back handle bars or the straight ones. Bought the curved ones thinking they would be more comfortable, but had an awkward angle on my wrists. The straight bars are more comfortable.

Why spend more than necessary when you can enjoy an extremely comfortable and reliable ride for a fraction of the price? Enter the Diamondback Wildwood Citi men's comfort bike, which includes such premium features as Shimano components, aluminum rims, Promax linear pull brakes, and an affordable price tag. If simplicity and value matter to you, look no further than the Wildwood Citi.
The bike is structured around a Hi-Ten Remington Steel frame with Laid Back Comfort (LBC) Geometry and a 45mm suspension fork. The frame and fork combine to create a comfortable, maneuverable ride that's ideal for both beach towns and short neighborhood commutes. The SunRace seven-speed twist shifters and Shimano Mega Range freewheel, meanwhile, create a smooth shifting and coasting experience. And riders will love the dual-density comfort saddle, which is far more accommodating than traditional road bike saddles.
About Diamondback's LBC Geometry During the development of LBC Geometry, Diamondback engineers were faced with the challenge of making the comfort bike more comfortable and easier to use without compromising its handling and maneuverability. They started by tilting the seat tube back. Way back. This allows the rider to be seated further behind the bottom bracket and in a lower position, which not only makes for a more stable and comfortable ride, but also allows for full leg extension to the pedals. At the same time, the design still keeps the rider seated low enough on the bike that he or she can quickly and easily plant both feet firmly on the ground. The result is happier knees and much easier mounting and dismounting.
Once the rider's ideal position was determined, the engineers recognized two places they could improve the handling of the bike by not changing anything at all. Whereas other companies have been tempted to lengthen the chainstays and tilt the head tube back, Diamondback engineers opted for another approach, leaving the length of the rear end alone to maintain superior shifting performance and stable handling. Then they designed a new comfort handlebar with more back sweep, helping bring the handle grips within reach. Because the angle and location of the head tube remains unchanged, Diamondback didn't compromise the performance of the bike.
