This photo comes to us by way of the lead singer of the band Rooney, Robert Schwartzman. He and his bandmates have been traveling around the world on their summer tour with their Citizen Bikes.

"On tour, all we see is the venue we're playing in, never the surrounding area. It's amazing to be able to travel with my bike and explore every city we travel to. It's super convenient to have on tour and the price is also a plus." -- Robert Schwartzman, Rooney

Thanks Robert, and enjoy!

"We want to say that we are very happy with our bikes - by their quality, comfort and beauty. We always use them in our City (Palmira-Valle) in Colombia (South America).

Just wanted to let you know how much I love my new Citizen Gotham Bike! I have ridden it more in the last week than I rode for the entire last 2 years with my other bike. I used to have a pickup but recently got a very small car, so now I can go anywhere with my bike! Thanks for selling a quality product!
-- S.B. Orlando, Florida

"We took our Citizen bikes on a cruise to Bermuda. We used the bikes for the four days that we were there. Cycling around the island was easy on the bikes......even on the hills and there were plenty of hills. They were very comfortable to ride amazingly so.

Everywhere we went (and we went everywhere) in Bermuda all the locals asked us about the bikes. They were a big hit with the crew and other passengers too. The real plus was that in Bermuda it costs $17 a day to rent a peddle bike plus $25 a day mandatory insurance. So the bikes almost paid for themselves on this trip. The fenders were great when the roads were wet and the luggage rack came in handy for carrying "stuff"......water bottle and snorkling gear." – P.C. of Stevensville, Maryland

"We purchased your bikes for Christmas 2007. We love them! We are boaters on the Long Island Sound and travel with the bikes up and down the coast. We have told so many people about your product and also let many of them sample a ride on your bike. It wouldn't be surprizing to know that sales are up in the Connecticut, NY/Long Island regions. Good luck with your super product!" - L.A. Milford, Connecticut

"I can't emphasize enough how the bike was a real life saver on our trip and it made the outing so much more enjoyable to be able to get around and would have been better had I bought 2 or even 3 of them. May just invest in another one before next summer. Thanks for your help."  – J.K. of Fairfield, California

"Rode the bike about 5 miles today in downtown Columbus. Will recommend your product to anyone that asks. I had asked some bikers last week about their bikes which were a high-end bike starting at $1,300! Yours serves the purpose at a fraction of the cost. Thanks!"  – C.C. of Columbus, Ohio

"Great Bike, Great Company, Great Value for money. Keep up good work!" - C.B. of Miramar, FL

"The Citizen Bike has, after two days on the job, helped me be a good citizen to other commuters. I just started taking the bus and have been biking to and from the bus stops--a very mellow commute. Anyhow, midroute, another biker was stymied by the fact that the two bike rack spots were taken, preventing her from getting on the bus. I stood up, told the driver I could fold up my bike, and did so, freeing up a spot--problem solved!" – E.S. of North Hollywood, California

Citizen Bike provides answer to students dreams
I was delighted to receive my new folding bike in early fall. At just under $200, I got a nice bike that meets all of my needs… It's virtually theft-proof, as I can tuck it away at night far from the greedy sight of bike thieves. I really like how the angle of the frame allows me to sit upright and check everyone out. Also, the bike rack on back, which was included with the bike, allows me to store my bag.

I took a wonderful ride to the lighthouse at Seaside Park. The bike was perfect. The whole time I was surrounded by nature's beauty. I took in the waves, the seagulls, and the rays of the sun on a flawless day. It was incredible. Riding a bike lends you absolute freedom, allowing you to get out there and see the world.
