Bicycles FAQs

What are the most important decisions to make when purchasing a new bicycle?

It is vital the one understands their cycling needs prior to committing to a purchase. Knowing whether the bicycle will be used predominantly for recreation, commuting, or competitive sport will help narrow down the plethora of options in the market today.

Also, making sure that one knows the proper sized bike frame and bicycle seat for their body type will provide a rider with both comfort and safety during both their journeys. For those that use their bicycle for daily transportation, purchasing and tuning a road bicycle with durable tires will lower anxiety and stress over potential break downs.


How do I know what bicycle rack is right for me?

When purchasing a bicycle rack, consumers must take into account the size and towing capacity of their vehicle, along with the number of bikes they hope to take on the road with them. Smaller sedans can usually only accommodate one or two bikes located on roof or rear racks, while larger SUVs can tow bike trailers that can accommodate many more frames and additional equipment.


Why should I shop online for my next bicycle or biking accessory purchase?

Online retailers offer just as many options and valuable advice as do local or national bike shops. In fact, many online retailers stock double and triple what one small shop can carry in-store, and usually offer many more brands and specialized options. Online retailers also offer great customer service and quick responses to questions about both products and the sport of cycling itself.
