(More customer reviews)After years of wasting money on cheap $119.99 bikes from your local big chain stores I finally decided I had enough rough riding & spent a few extra bucks on the Diamondback Wildwood. Day 1 review is awesome! This is the lightest bike I ever owned, it is very stable and it rides as smooth as a lincoln town car. I swear, even if you have a good road bike to go out riding with your friends, this is a great second bike for enjoying local family fun time. I mostly chose the bike myself because it is a cross between a road bike & a mountain bike, so I can ride the streets in my neighborhood & cut through the parks with ease as well. My wife loved it so much we ended up buying her the diamondback serene citi bike, http://www.amazon.com/Diamondback-Classic-Comfort-26-Inch-15-Inch/dp/B002LFTSGE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=sporting-goods&qid=1283717023&sr=8-2which is the womens equivelant to the mens wildwood. Great 1st bike, 1st bike in years to start again or Great second bike for the serious biker.

Cruise around town in relaxed style with the Diamondback Wildwood Classic men's comfort bike. The Wildwood Classic offers many of the same comforts and features as the Wildwood Deluxe, but with a more comfortable price tag. The Wildwood Classic is equipped with a heat-treated aluminum frame with Laid Back Comfort (LBC) geometry, a 50mm comfort suspension fork, seven-speed twist shifters, and a DB comfort saddle with super-soft foam. It also offers a few upgrades from the Diamondback Wildwood Citi bike, including compact gearing, puncture-resistant tires, and BioLogic dual-density comfort grips. Add the features together and you have a terrific bike for rides to the grocery store or casual commutes.
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.
