QBP, the largest distributor of parts and accessories in the bike industry, is rolling out a new line of bikes called Civia, designed specifically for commuting, light transport and other utility tasks. These will officially be introduced at the Interbike convention in Las Vegas, NV, at the end of September, with production models available in Spring 2008.
"Civia bikes are made for everyday tasks like picking up groceries, carrying children to daycare and commuting to work. Because many of these riders already own higher-end bikes, Civia has taken special care to build a light, durable and highly responsive machine dedicated to transportation," the company said in a release last month announcing the new line.
Civia's website offers morning and evening weather forecasts for registered riders' commutes along with clothing recommendations, route mapping tools and more.
Other QBP brands offered by the Bloomington, Minnesota-based company, include Dimension, Surly, Winwood and Salsa Cycles.
