Chainless Bikes!!

Saw something interesting in a review of the Sea Otter Classic 2009 on BikeCommuters.com. Their Urban Commuter model goes for about $350, while their Urban Voyager goes for about $450. From Sonoma's website: "Instead of a traditional chain, the Sonoma Urban Voyager incorporates our exclusive D-Drive system, a self-contained drive shaft that powers the bike – but without the noise, mess or maintenance issues. People all over the world are already enjoying the benefits of the chainless evolution. And with the Sonoma Urban Voyager, it’s easy to start taking full advantage of them yourself." It also has an aluminum frame and 700c tires. They don't mention the weight, however. Check these bikes out at http://www.sonomabike.com/
