What Bike Should You Buy This Christmas?
If one of your nearest and dearest has a bike at the top of their Christmas list
, you'd better start your research soon to make sure you get the right bike for their needs.As well as focusing on brand of bike and the price, you should also think about what types of cycling they will be doing. This is because there are totally different bikes available for different types of terrain; bikes perfect for commuting are radically different for bikes used for riding across rugged terrain.
Confused? Well read on and let us introduce you to the top 5 types of bikes available:
1. Mountain Bikes
You should buy a mountain bike if you know that the rider wants a bike specifically for off road biking; chucking themselves down dirt tracks and rugged terrain demands wide tyres and shock absorption. This is exactly what mountain bikes have been designed for.
2. Road Bikes
Road bikes have been created for use on the roads. They generally have a lightweight body and thinner tyres than a mountain bike. This means that they are easy to ride on the roads, quick to pick up speed and easy to handle.
3. Hybrid Bikes
If you want to purchase a bike that does both and can take the punishment of riding on roads and off road tracks, then a hybrid bike is the one for you. These blend the best characteristics of road and mountain bikes to make them sturdy, yet comfortable and fast.
4. BMX Bikes
A BMX bike generally has smaller wheels than any of the bikes mentioned previously, and they are specifically designed for racing around sandy tracks in BMX parks or performing stunts and tricks.
5. Commuter Bikes
If you have someone in your circle of friends or family that would really like a bike to be able to cycle to work, then a commuter bike like a folding bike or a no effort electric bike would be perfect for them.
You'll find plenty of websites selling bikes and offering practical cycling advice online. Start your research soon.
