Transportation 2015
Transportation for a Healthy Planet Breezer Bikes is the original US transportation brand, designed entirely by Joe Breeze from almost 40 years of engineering and design experience. Breezer’s lifestyle offering represents the pinnacle of modern transportation technology, evidenced by the unmatched number of Bicycling Editors’ Choice Awards the brand has received in the transportation category. Light, fast, easy to ride, and fully equipped, Breezer’s town and range bikes are designed with one primary objective: to make it easier for you to choose your bike over your car.

Town Bikes FULLY EQUIPPED Fixed full coverage fenders with mud flaps keep you clean on wet roads or dry. Oversized rear rack is strong and lightweight with a built-in spring clip perfect for carrying bags and baskets. Chainguard and internal gears mean you can ride in any outfit – no lycra required, and no need to roll your pant leg. A kickstand and bell are standard, so your ride will always be civilized.
INTEGRATED LIGHTING SYSTEM Most models include lights that never need batteries and even stay lit when your bicycle is stopped, courtesy of clever capacitors that are quickly charged by new low-resistance hub dynamos. Top models even turn themselves on as soon as you reach dusk or enter a tunnel.
LEGENDARY JOE BREEZE GEOMETRY Almost 40 years of famous Joe Breeze handling goes into every model and every size Breezer transportation bike. We offer no-compromise sizing to fit riders from 4’ 10” to 6’ 6”, and our low-step frames have one of the lowest step-over heights in the industry, making it that much easier to get on and off your bike. 3

D’FUSION TUBING Breezer D’Fusion tubing strengthens Breezer transportation bikes with a unique D-shape profile on the top and down tubes near the head-tube intersection and at the top tube-seat tube intersection. Significant stress travels through these joints, and D’Fusion tubing’s broader cross-section diffuses that load over a wider area, reducing the risk of fatigue. In the rear triangle, D’Fusion adds rigidity to the chainstays through a wider cross-section, while positioning the broad area outboard, to reduce chain suck. D’Fusion tubing eliminates ride deadening and heavy gussets and lets the tubing do the lightweight and lively work it was designed to do.
Range Bikes Breezer Range Bikes offer wide-range 21, 24, 27 and new 2x10 gearing for long-range travel or hilly terrain. Joe’s famous geometry makes these Breezers super stable with best-in-class handling. Predictable and sure-footed, Breezer range bikes turn effortlessly, accelerate quickly, and stop on a dime. Plus, they’re the lightest Breezers in the transportation line.
APEX DISC MOUNT The Breezer Apex Disc Mount puts the rear brake caliper on the chainstay. The increased diameter of the chainstay provides a huge increase in torsional rigidity over the smaller seatstay. Not only is braking performance increased and chatter decreased, but the caliper is also safely protected within the Apex of the rear triangle - instead of “hanging off the back” like other bikes on the market.
BREEZE-IN DROPOUTS Joe Breeze’s iconic Breeze-In dropout offers twice the rigidity and half the weight of standard dropouts. Breeze-Ins enable the stays to extend as close as possible to the rear axle, making tubing the rightful star of the show. Breeze-In dropouts improve shifting, wheel changes, and of course, the ride quality. 6
