Report: The Steel Frame Bike Is Still Great

Go out there and ride that thing, and see what I mean.” So ended my call with bike builder Bradley Woehl, and so began my interest in steel-frame bikes. Because who doesn’t want to fly? With one short, wobbly bike share exception, I hadn’t ridden one in ages. A new steel-framed matte black beauty, inherited from an office-mate, had sat in my apartment’s hallway for over a year.

But recently, biking to work is picking up speed, with the wind at its back, thanks to more cities becoming bicycle friendly. Sure, the numbers are still small – less than 1 percent of all American workers arrive by bike – but from 2011 to 2012 alone, there was a 10 percent jump in the number of bicycle commuters. “Both bicycling for all trip purposes and bike commuting are increasing in the US,” confirmed Ralph Buehler, a top bike researcher and associate professor of Urban Affairs and Planning at Virginia Tech.
