Safety
Take safety seriously when you ride your bike, and always wear your helmet. Moreover, don’t ride on the sidewalk. This is actually against the law in some states and can be dangerous for both you and pedestrians.
Hipster bikes average price
If you want an acceptable Hipster bike you should know that the average price is 612$. However, this doesn’t mean that if you spend less money on a Hipster bike, you couldn’t get a decent one. In short, before purchasing your ideal bike do some research about its components, and also check for reviews online.
Furthermore, this bike was made available in 2011 for 1599$. Doing a quick comparison, we notice that FOOTPRINT price is 161.27% more expensive than the average cost of a Hipster bike.
Average weight for Hipster bikes
On a deeper look, we notice that the average weight of a Hipster bike is 9.81 kg (21.63 lbs). A lighter bike will give you some extra advantage when climbing. A heavier bike will have more speed for descents.
Weighing 8.5 kg (18.74 lbs), the FOOTPRINT model is much lighter than average. In short, the average Hipster bike weight is 15.41% higher than this one.
Internal Cable Routing
Moreover, this bike comes with internal cable routing allowing you to keep the cables in a good condition. It also makes it look more professional.
FOOTPRINT components
Fork material
FOOTPRINT has a carbon fork, so, it is super light and stiff. In conclusion, a carbon fork gives you great control when steering, and is also more forgiving.
Wheels size
The wheels on FOOTPRINT are the 700c aluminum type. These are the most popular wheels for road, aero, gravel, cyclocross, race, and gravel bikes. However, these wheels don’t perform so well when passing over obstacles.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Felt FOOTPRINT has Rim brakes installed. Rim brakes are cheaper than hydraulic brakes, and also easier to maintain. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
