SPECIALIZED TURBO CREOHave a look at the picture. See anything different? Probably not, but this is an electric road bike. It has a motor at the bottom bracket, meaning it has better weight distribution, centre of gravity and more power, since it doesn't have to be spinning in the wheel. And the battery? That's in the down tube, sleek and thin so it doesn't affect the aerodynamics. It has around 100 kilometres of range (and that's before you add the second battery, it weighs (at the top of the range) 12.1 kilograms, and even has suspension in the head tube (Specialized's Future Shock). Oh, and Specialized haven't forgotten about gravel bikes. The SL Evo comes with flared bars, gravel tyres, and a dropper seatpost, perfect for riding just about anywhere in the Northern Rivers.

Bianchi is the oldest bicycle manufacturer in the world. In 1885 Edoardo Bianchi at the age of 21, started a small bicycle company in Milan. In 1895, Bianchi was invited to court in Villa Reale in Monza. Queen Margaret wanted to ride one of his bicycles. After this experience Mr. Bianchi went on to make the first lady's bike. It is also rumoured that the Celeste colour for Bianchi bicycles was inspired by the queen's eyes!

About BALLINAHistorically a port city, Ballina supported local farming, logging and fishing industries.
Best known to most Australian's for the Big Prawn, a local landmark on what used to be the Pacific Highway, which now bypasses the city. The Big Prawn is still here, bigger and better than ever, and Ballina is enjoying a renaissance as a idyllic holiday destination with a wide range of outdoor activities from the river and ocean to the nearby Great Dividing Range. With its own airport, proximity to Byron Bay and the new Pacific Highway upgrade cutting travel times to Brisbane and the Gold Coast, Ballina offers plenty of action in a tranquil beach-side setting. Find out more about what's going on in Ballina at the River Street Traders Facebook page. |
