Low-maintenance bike Since many baby boomers don't ride bikes anymore, Trek set out to win them back with features just for them. The result was the Trek Lime auto-shifting three-speed, marketed as the "baby boomer bike." Features include low weight (31 pounds), storage under the seat for keys and a wallet, flat-proof tires, a coaster brake rather than hand brakes, and no derailleurs. When it was introduced in 2007, Trek's price was $590, but boomers balked. Now that the bike is being discontinued, Penn Cycle (seven locations, 612-866-7540, www.penncycle.com) bought the remaining 725 and is selling them for $290 each or $499 for two. The Lime doesn't need tune-ups, only a little chain lubrication and air in the tires. It's a good choice for casual riders, but test the auto shift on the road. That's a question mark for some.
