To choose a bike
First, of course, will have to decide how much money you're willing to spend. Tips, as I said earlier, after the money have a better bike. We spend at least $ 250 will not be many opportunities at this level in a realistic manner, you should expect to spend $ 300 when you can not afford a lot that can be good deals on good used bikes. If you have a lot of people will never ride their bikes, and finally, closing only for burial. A quality bike will be much better than the new target Junker.
If you have a price range, head to the bike shop. Do not let a hurry, traveling several test cycles and spare parts are not guided tours (see details below in the Riding Test). Consider theft resistance, the bike has a quick release, which via a cable to buy or take with you? Look at the expansion joints, seams (or hands) to clear or laziness? Wheels are true? In the brake lever must come to an end of travel of a maximum of about 2 inches (slightly less than mountain biking), and should not be able to fund. Or, cantilever brakes sidepull? (Cantilever brake pivots on the fork and on the seatstays, the main cable with a cross to make, based on the wheel. Sidepulls directly above the wheel with a cable to pull it together on one page.) Boom, when the brakes a good defense to move the wheels (which greatly improves the bike in the rain). Sidepull brakes, it's usually easier and stay in the best fit.
