Mendota

Lake Mendota, for which this Fisher model is named, is the largest of three lakes that comprise the heart of Madison, Wisconsin. The downtown is nestled on a narrow strip of land between two of the lakes. Geographers call this feature an isthmus. Drivers call this feature a headache. A bustling state capital city on a lake-locked strip of land may not be auto friendly, but it's great for bikes.
The Mendota is highly tuned for everything the urban environment may offer. It's our lightest hybrid, which is great not only for riding performance, but also for carrying to second-floor apartments or hanging on the garage hook. It's got a Bontrager Carbon Switchblade fork to dampen road shock. Disc brakes work great whatever the weather, and puncture-resistant tires make sure you keep rolling. It's ready to easily accept a rack, and specifically geared to match your speed. It's designed for fast transport, and fitness made fun – down the block, around the lake, and beyond.
