Finding the Right Bike
To really enjoy cycling, it's important to find a bicycle that
works for you. Here are some things to keep in mind when you're
in the market for a new bike:
The Right Ride
In general, bikes are broken down into three major categories:
* Road and Racing Bikes--As a general rule, road and racing are
built for speed and longer distances on paved surfaces. Thinner
tires, lightweight 29-inch (700c) wheels and drop bars that allow
for a more aerodynamic position are the norm. Most road bikes,
regardless of price, offer many gears for tackling both hilly and
flat terrain.
* ain Bikes--With their larger tires, hill-friendly gearing
and upright position, ain bikes
( http://www..com/gp/browse.html/102-6059588-9624911?node=3404711 )
are very popular for all types of riding, both on pavement and
off. ain bikes that are designed specifically for rugged
trail use typically feature a suspension fork. Some may have rear
suspension, as well. A quick change of the tires on any ain
bike--even one that you use regularly on trails--adds to its
versatility and makes it a worthy street machine.
* Comfort/Cruiser Bikes--For tooling around on bike paths, light
trails, or for cruising a quiet beach-side lane, comfort/cruiser
bikes
( http://www..com/gp/browse.html/102-6059588-9624911?node=3403971 )
are the ticket. With a super-relaxed riding position, padded
seats, and limited or no gearing, these bikes are made for
enjoying the scenery and having fun with the family. 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 well as some lower-end ain bikes
and road bikes. Most will have steel 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 will stand up to abuse, this is the "sweet spot."
Most serious commuter and touring bikes fall into this category,
as do mid-range ain 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 ultra-lightweight components can add
thousands to the price tag. ain bikes in this class often
feature advanced front and rear suspension technology, as well as
components designed to handle lots of rugged 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 Height--To find out if a bike's overall height fits
your body, measure your inseam. Next, determine how much
clearance you'll need between your crotch and the top tube of the
bike. For a ain bike, you'll want three to five inches of
clearance. A road bike should offer between one and two inches of
clearance, while a commuter bike should have two to four inches.
Compare the stand-over height for a given bike to your
measurements (inseam + clearance) to determine the right bike
height.
* Top Tube Length--You can measure your torso to get a good
estimate of proper top tube length. First, make a fist and extend
your arm. Measure from the center of your fist to the end of your
collar (the part that intersects your shoulder). 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 between your collars). Finally, add the two
measurements (arm length + torso length), divide the number in
half and subtract six inches. This is your approximate top tube
length. Compare this number to a bike's posted top tube length.
You can allow for about two inches longer or shorter, as most
bikes can be adjusted via stem length/height and saddle fore/aft
position to make fine adjustments to the fit.
* 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 Accessories
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 bottles and bottle cages
* Spare tubes
* Portable bike pump
* Gloves
