Cannondale Treadwell 3 review – A slow pootler that's simple and comfortable

Jun 2022 · Mildred Locke

A fun take on an urban bike with a bold burst of colour. Should the Treadwell be your next workhorse?

Highs
  • Comfortable riding position that’s beginner friendly

  • Large, cushioned tyres smooth out rough roads

  • Single chain ring for simple gear shifting

  • Speed Sensor and app connectivity

Lows
  • Heavy, so not ideal for carrying up and down stairs

  • Tyres have a fairly high rolling resistance, so riding feels sluggish

Apr 2020 · Will Poole

Flat-bar run-around with mudguards and a rack

Highs
  • Mudguards and rack as standard nimble handling fuss free components

Lows
  • Might lack all round appeal for some
