Types of Bikes
Picking out a bike is a lot like shopping for clothes. Of course the most important aspect is to make sure that it fits. Riding a bike that is sized to your physical attributes can go a long way towards avoiding painful riding injuries. Knowing your riding style will also help you pick out the right bike for you. Are you aggressive and looking for excitment or more timid and refined? And let's admit that most of us want to look good at what ever it is we are doing. Pick out that hot pink paintjob if you really want to stand out and be noticed, or impress your geek buddies with all the bells and whistles on your new bike computer. The number of questions that should be answered before picking a bike can be daunting. Start your list now. I'll help, here is the first one:
Which one is for you?
- Do ya wanna race or just go fast? Check out Road Bikes
