Associated Press Video
I ran across an old video from November about the Trek District that I had somehow missed. The AP did a quick little video on the Trek District and had a chance to catch up with Eric Bjorling the brand manager in charge of the District. Hear what he had to say and see a quick clip below.

Love it, love it, love it! As soon as I get some bicycle funds saved, I will place an order on a District. What a cool bike! One thing that irks me is how they claim the bike is “revolutionary” and how it’s the “first” bike with a belt drive.
My 1982-83 Bridgestone Picnica folding bike has a cogged belt drive system that is very similar looking to this Gates system in that it looks like a timing belt from a car. This Gates is the same company as the timing, fan belt & rubber auto parts company right?
Anyway, a very cool bike with a bit of an overzealous marketing department behind it I guess.
