Regardless of what type of cycling you enjoy, you'll benefit from a bike that has been properly adjusted to fit your body and your riding style. With a professional bike fit, you can be more comfortable, more efficient, and more powerful on every ride. You’ll also be less likely to sustain injuries on a bike that has been expertly configured to meet your needs.
We know it. It can be a bit tricky to choose the right bike for your child. Different wheel sizes, dual-suspension bikes, hardtail bikes, and various intended uses to consider. That's why we've put together the perfect little guide to help you find the ideal bike for your little riders.
A quality bike is the most important factor in a successful bike commute. You don't need the most expensive model, but you do need one that's comfortable and reliable and that fits your riding style. There are many great options available in terms of price, quality, and style, so make sure you know what kind of riding you're planning to do, and talk to a knowledgeable salesperson who can advise on equipment, such as locks, lights, racks, and helmets.
The easiest way to start bikepacking is to use the bike that you already have. Pick an adventure that will last one to two days, attach some bags and equipment to your bike, and away you go!
That’s the essential spirit of bikepacking. But even we have to admit, it’s easier said than done.
