Any cyclist will tell you, a bicycle makes the worldbrsmaller. At home, that means breaking isolation and connecting to a largerbrcommunity. But for life-saving caregivers in Africa, a bicycle means visitingbrfive times as many clients in a day.
For every Source Two LTD bike sold, Specialized, the go-tobrbrand for avid cyclists, will donate a custom bike to World Bicycle Relief, wherebrit will go to a caregiver fighting the HIV epidemic in Africa.
The Source Two LTD, though, is no charity case. AsbrSpecialized says, “There's a time to haul, and there's a time to haul ass.” Thisbrbike certainly does both. Featuring the company's proprietary carbon alloy andbrthe best of the best when it comes to components, Source Two LTD boasts a superbrlightweight body and a fast ride.
With a hybrid design, the bike offers the speed of a roadbrbike with the comfort of a mountain bike. Road bikes, preferred by cyclistsbrwith Tour de France fantasies, feature thin wheels that make great speed butbrdon't handle potholes, curbs or gravel well. On the other hand, mountain bikesbrhave a youthful appeal that comes thick wheels and upright frame, which also makebrthem more stable and comfortable. The Source Two's hybrid design offers thebrbest of both: speed, stability, comfort and durability. Ready to take on abrvariety of terrains, the bike is designed for daily use.
The Source Two LTD's durable and low-maintenance componentsbrtake it to the front of the cycling pack. A SRAM Automatix gear shifter sensesbrthe bike's speed and smoothly changes gears accordingly, allowing the rider tobrstay focused on the road (or the view). It also allows for quick accelerationbrand easier starts. And mechanical brakes linked to a tension cable? Things ofbrthe past. Enjoy the smoothness and power of a SRAM hydraulic brake system asbryou comfortably stop for whatever pops up in your way. Take your cycling rightbrinto night with the Supernova E3 Pro headlight and taillight system.
These items might seem too advanced for a casual biker, butbrrest assured, it's all designed to require very little maintenance and evenbrless cycling know-how.
Just get on the bike and enjoy the smooth and swift ride — madebreven sweeter with the knowledge that you've helped save lives half a worldbraway. $1,500, Specialized.com for retailers
