Bicycles: Ciao P 8
The friendliest folding bicycle aroud
Say “hello” to the friendliest folding bicycle around. With an ultra low step over frame design, the Ciao is perfect for anybody looking for a sophisticated bike for getting around town. It’s especially suitable for inexperienced riders intimidated by high frames, riders with back or leg injuries, or riders wearing skirts. The Ciao includes a full complement of accessories: front and rear lights to keep you safe and visible at night, hub dynamo to power the front light, mud guards to keep you clean, and a sturdy rack to carry your things. Voted “Bike of the Year, 2006” in the Netherlands, a country that knows a thing or two about bicycles.
