Distro Issue 59 DBC City Bike is putting a new spin on an old design

As the summer comes to a close (as least north of the equator), temperatures are dropping and the leaves are beginning to change their hues. Leisurely strolls and bike rides that had become quite uncomfortable are options for relaxation once again. Speaking of bicycles, that’s precisely where the cover story of this week’s edition of our tablet mag focuses. Terrence O’Brien visits with Dan Sorger at his DBC City Bike workshop in Boston and discovers how — with the help of designers, engineers, and medical professionals from institutions like MIT — The Swift takes a beloved European-style bike and adapts it for American city dwellers. This week’s “Hands-on” section circles the globe as we check in at the Tokyo Game Show and Nokia’s HQ before returning in the States. On the review front, we put Sony’s Xperia T and Xperia Tab as well as Vizio’s all-in-one through their respective paces and offer our detailed impressions of each. Find yourself a spot on the porch and settle in before grabbing the latest issue via any of the options that lie down below.
