- BEST COMMUTER BIKE
Marin Presidio 1 $680
We loved zipping
down streets on this
thoughtfully equipped,
aluminum-frame rig.
The internal-gear hub
and three-speed drive-
train deliver fast and
smooth shifting, while
the hydraulic disc brakes
offer dependable and
impressive stopping
power. Put the fender and
rack mounts to use when
you have a big haul, or
swap out the puncture-
resistant 700x32 tires for
something a little fatter
if you want to go explore
gravel trails. - BEST BIKE LOCK
Altor Apex Ti $189
Clocking in at just over
1.5 pounds, the Apex
Ti delivers an excellent
weight-to-protection ratio.
Altor built the body from a
titanium aerospace alloy,
with hardened steel rivet
caps connecting the fold-
ing joints. The lock is long
enough to secure your
ride’s front wheel and
frame and comes with a
bike mount. - BEST COMMUTER PACK
Osprey Metron
Commuter $160
Even fully loaded,
the 26-liter Metron is
comfortable to carry,
thanks to its ventilated
back panel, padded
shoulder straps, and
sternum and waist
belts. We appreciated
the dedicated shoe
pocket and the fob on
the front that we used to
conveniently secure our
helmet when we weren’t
riding. Should the skies
open up, the rain cover
(which stows in a bottom
pocket) is there to keep
your laptop and gear dry.
