Credit: Cannondale
Hey there, adventurers of Atlanta! 🚴♂️ We are Musette, your go-to bike rental company in the city! Not all bikes ride the same for different people and we get that determining size, style, and gear is not common knowledge if you’re not a regular rider. Don’t fret - we’re here to help you pick the perfect bike for your city jaunt. And lucky you, we've got the perfect wheels to roll with – courtesy of none other than Cannondale, a true legend in the bike builder world! Renowned for their top-notch quality and innovative designs, Cannondale has been leading the pack for years, and we're thrilled to offer their fantastic models for your biking pleasure. Let's dive into the three amazing urban models we offer and figure out which one suits you best!
Cannondale Adventure 1
What Musette calls it: COMFORT CRUISER
Best for: Long-distance rides and varied terrains, or just the extra comfort
Who will love it: Intermediate to experienced riders and beginners all the same.
Features: The Adventure 1 is a versatile beast, designed for comfort and endurance. Its sturdy seat and front suspension make it ideal for tackling paved trails. If you’re someone on the thicker side and want a wide seat with cushion to boot, Sir Mix-a-Lot said it best - Baby [bike] got [your] back.
Cannondale Treadwell 2
What Musette calls it: AGILE RIPPER
Best for: Casual rides around the city and neighborhood exploration
Who will love it: Beginners and leisure riders
Features: The Treadwell 2 is all about relaxed cruising. Its lightweight design and smooth tires ensure a comfortable ride on city streets and paved pathways. If you're looking to soak in the local sights or hit up a park, this is your go-to ride.
Cannondale Treadwell 2 Remixte
What Musette calls it: AGILE STEP-THRU
Best for: Riders sportin’ a cute dress or seeking a step-through frame design
Who will love it: Riders of all levels looking for easy on-off access
Features: The Treadwell 2 Remixte shares the same chill vibes as its sibling but boasts a step-through frame, making mounting and dismounting a breeze. It's perfect for casual riders exploring Atlanta with friends or family. If you have shorter legs, the Remixte is your BFF.
Now, let's consider some key factors to help you make the best choice:
1. Sizing: Proper bike size is crucial for comfort and safety. It’s easy to find out which size fits you best - just ask yourself “How tall am I?” and refer to the graphs below for each model.

2. Riding Style and Experience Level: Choose a bike that matches your preferred riding style. If you're a comfort-focused adventurer seeking an upright position, the Adventure 1 is your companion. Beginners and leisure riders will have a blast with the Treadwell 2 models for its high agility.
3. Distance and Weather Conditions: For longer rides or unpredictable weather, the Adventure 1's sturdiness and suspension in the fork and seat will be your most comfortable bet. Additionally, the tires of all three models are high-performance and as durable as the frames themselves, thanks to Cannondale’s commitment to building the best bikes out there.
4. Riding Companions and Planned Activities: Riding with friends or family? The Treadwell models are excellent for social rides and exploring together. It’s easy to get caught up in the fun - don’t forget to be considerate of your party’s varying experience and fitness levels so no one gets left behind.
5. Safety and Route Planning: If you're going on unfamiliar routes, consider the Adventure 1's reliability and stability. Always wear a helmet, which we provide with each and every rental, and any personal safety gear. If you want recommendations on safe routes and fun and tasty stops, we have a handy-dandy digital Guidemap to take with you! As locals, we love to share our love for the city so ask away!
6. Parking and Security: Our bikes come with secure U-locks to keep them safe while you take a break. We strongly suggest finding the nearest bike rack with high visibility to lock up to. If bike racks are no where to be found, a sturdy sign post or guard rail that is not blocking right-of-ways are your next best option. Make sure the lock slips through the frame and back wheel and through the rack. We also suggest bringing the bicycle indoors for overnight parking. Ask us for more recommendations! We’re a text or phonecall away.
7. Responsibility and Treatment of Rentals: We trust you to treat our rentals like your own, with care and respect. Please be mindful of any damages, ride safely, and don't forget to have fun and enjoy the ride responsibly!
