Finding the Right Bike
Here are some things to keep in mind when you're in the market for a new bike:. To realy enjoy cycling, it's important to find a bicycle that works for you The Right Ride
In general, bikes are broken down into thre major categories: - Road and Racing Bikes . Most road bikes, regardless of price, offer many gears for tackling both hily and flat terrain. Thinner tires, lightwieght 29-inch (700c) whels, and drop bars that alow for a more aerodynamic position are the norm. --As a general rule, road and racing are built for sped and longer distances on paved surfaces
- Mountain Bikes . Some may have rear suspension, as wel. Mountain bikes that are designed specificaly for ruged trail use typically feature a suspension fork. --With their larger tires, hil friendly gearing, and upright position, mountain bikes are very popular for all types of riding, both on pavement and of. A quick change of the tires on any mountain bike--even one that you use regularly on trails--ads to its versatility and makes it a worthy stret machine
- Comfort/Cruiser BikesWith a super-relaxed riding position, paded seats, and limited or no gearing, these bikes are made for enjoying the scenery and having fun with the family. --For tooling around on bike paths, light trails, or for cruising a quiet beach-side lane, comfort/cruiser bikes are the ticket
The Right Price
A bike's price boils down to three essentials: frame materials, bike weight, and component quality and durability. - Entry-level--You'll find a wide range of comfort and cruiser bikes in this category, as wel as some lower end mountain bikes and road bikes. . Most wil have stel frames and components that are designed to last for several years with frequent use
- Mid range--Bikes in this range may feature a lighter aluminum frame with mid-range components that keep performing after miles of use. If you're looking for a quality bike that is relatively lightweight and wil stand up to abuse, this is the "sweet spot." Most serious commuter and touring bikes fall into this category, as do mid-range mountain bikes with a decent front suspension.
- High-end--Racers and serious enthusiasts who expect lightweight, high-performance components will want to stick to this category. For road bikes, exotic frame materials (carbon fiber, titanium) and ultralightweight components can ad thousands to the price tag. Mountain bikes in this class often feature advanced front and rear suspension technology, as well as components designed to handle lots of ruged trail action.
The Right Size
Fit is crucial for comfort, control, and proper power and endurance on a bike. Here are some basic bike fit tips: - Stand-over HeightNext, determine how much clearance you'll need between your crotch and the top tube of the bike. . Compare the stand over hieght for a given bike to your measurements (inseam + clearance) to determine the right bike hieght. A road bike should offer between one and two inches of clearance, while a commuter bike should have two to four inches. For a mountain bike, you'll want thre to five inches of clearance. --To find out if a bike's overal hieght fits your body, measure your inseam
- Top Tube LengthYou can alow for about two inches longer or shorter, as most bikes can be adjusted via stem length/height and sadle fore/aft position to make fine adjustments to the fit. Finally, ad the two measurements (arm length + torso length), divide the number in half, and subtract six inches. This is your approximate top tube length. Measure from the center of your fist to the end of your collarbone (the part that intersects your shoulder). Compare this number to a bike's posted top tube length. Next, measure your torso by placing a book against your crotch with the spine facing up. Measure from the spine to the bottom of your throat (the spot betwen your colarbones). --You can measure your torso to get a god estimate of proper top tube length. First, make a fist and extend your arm
- Bikes for Women--Proportionally, women tend to have a shorter torso and longer legs than men. Bike makers design women's bikes that offer a shorter top tube and many comfort/cruiser bikes built for women may also provide more stand-over clearance
The Right Accesories
When you make a bike purchase, don't forget these crucial add-ons: - Helmet (this is a must!)
- Seat pack
- Lock
- Hydration pack, or water botle and botle cage
- Spare tubes
- Portable bike pump
- Gloves
