Populo Bikes (USA) – "The Populo Metro is designed to be your go-to bike when riding around town, or on the bike path, or on campus. Its lightweight and agile Aluminum frame helps you maneuver around quickly and effortlessly", shared Populo Bikes.

Populo fitted the Metro with a riser handlebar for a comfortable riding position that still gives responsive handling. Then they equipped the Metro with the Shimano 3 speed Nexus internally-geared hub. An internally-geared hub gives a wide range of gears, without all the maintenance of a traditional rear derailleur.

According to Populo Bikes, "Internally geared hubs are ideal for riding in all weather conditions, so your Metro will always shift consistently since the moving parts are protected inside the hub. Rear derailleurs can also be damaged when you lock up a bike - with no derailleur, the Metro is ideal for commuting to work or school when your bike is out of your sight all day".

Metro is equipped with WTB Comet Urban tires for a comfortable ride. They feature a tough, puncture-resistant casing to help reduce flat tires.
