How to find the right bike (Fitness)

How to find the right bike

Whether you want to cruise around the city, hit the trails or ride through your local park, here’s how to find the right bike for your needs.

The basics of buying a bike



It may be tempting to go out and buy the first bike that catches your eye, but there are some important basics to be aware of before you do. Given the wide variety of bikes out there, you need to narrow down the type that’s going to fit your lifestyle.

"The first thing I would recommend is to find the right bike store," says Rob White, sales manager at Outdoor Gear Canada in Montreal. “It should be close to where you live and a place that makes you feel comfortable.”

This is important because it’s where you’ll go for all your bike-related questions. If it’s not a good store, you could get bad advice, or worse – end up with the wrong bike.

How will you know it’s a good place?

"Before they start recommending a bike, they should ask what you're going to use the bike for,”
