Selecting The Correct Bike Is Not Easy
There is a misconception that picking the right bike is easy. Many people just think finding a bike that looks good and is comfortable is all there is to picking the right bike. Wrong, there is more to it these days than simply looks and comfort. Biking is increasing in popularity in many areas of life, such as sports, hobbies, transport etc. we now have many different bikes to choose from. Some people are choosing to Bike as a means of transportation on a regular basis. There are also plenty of families that Bike as a hobby. The following will explain how you choose the best bike for whatever it is you aim to use it for.
It goes without saying that choosing the correctly sized bike is of utmost importance. To do this, you will need to measure your inseam. Simply measure through your inner leg from your groin to the bottom of your foot to find out your inseam. You should ideally be able to place both feet on the ground when sitting in on your bike. If you can do this you need not worry about stopping in an emergency if your brakes malfunction. You shouldn't keep the Motorcycle seat at the lowest setting, either. Be sure to consider these few necessary inches between the seat and the crossbar, when you are out Motorcycle shopping. When you bring the seat up a few inches, you are going to have more room between the crossbar and you, and this will make for a much more comfortable ride. You want to be able to sit on the bike and place your foot on the pedal at the lowest position, and almost be able to fully extend your leg.
How many gears will you use on a regular basis? If you are going to be travelling in relatively flat places, you will not need as many gears as you would need in rockier terrain or a terrain with lots of hills. A bike isn’t better just because it has more gears than another. The truth is that you might not need all of those different gears. Save your money for a different feature you’ll really use. Find out where you’ll ride your bike, especially if this is your main vehicle, and make sure you have enough gears to handle the areas through which you will travel.
When you get a bike your main goal should be to find one that physically suits you. When deciding upon using a bike for transportation you need to keep this in mind. You want to feel comfortable and safe as you travel from one point to another.
