If you read Edwin's epic Lights for the Rest of Us (and you really should, if you haven't), you probably noticed that Breezer stands apart when it comes to offering bikes with dynamo lights. The Infinity also has a Nuvinci 360 hub, which basically makes shifting something you don't have to think much about (For more info, read Simple Cycle's review of the hub).
So, you don't have to think about lighting, and you don't have to think about shifting. No wonder Maurice Tierney compared this bike to a toaster in his Bicycle Times review. Comes with a full chaincase, fenders, and a rear rack. Here are the specs on the LS:
