1. What Kind of Riding?
We don't choose a bike first. We ask ourselves, what type of riding do you want a bike for? There are the mountain biking type, serious cyclist/racer type, casual short distances type, touring the county/country type, and others. Once you answer this question, you are ready to choose.
2. What is my budget?
You can get the same type of bicycle at varying prices. Prices vary for a number of reasons which we don't have the space to cover. However, be careful of brands that are unheard of and might have been made in a non-cycling country.
3. What is my size?
Size does matter in this case. For prolonged riding enjoyment, check with the instore mechanic where you will purchase from for a proper fit. If you cannot locate an instore mechanic, then just check your proper size with the frame size calculator at www.ebicycle.com
