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.
