Finding the Right Bike
To really enjoy cycling, it’s important to find a bicycle that works for you. Here are some things to keep in mind when you’re in the market for a new bike:

The Right Ride
In general, bikes are broken down into three major categories:

• Road and Racing Bikes–As a general rule, road and racing are built for speed and longer distances on paved surfaces. Thinner tires, lightweight 29-inch (700c) wheels and drop bars that allow for a more aerodynamic position are the norm. Most road bikes, regardless of price, offer many gears for tackling both hilly and flat terrain.
• Mountain Bikes–With their larger tires, hill-friendly gearing and upright position, mountain bikes are very popular for all types of riding, both on pavement and off. Mountain bikes that are designed specifically for rugged trail use typically feature a suspension fork. Some may have rear suspension, as well. A quick change of the tires on any mountain bike–even one that you use regularly on trails–adds to its versatility and makes it a worthy street machine.
• Comfort/Cruiser Bikes–For tooling around on bike paths, light trails, or for cruising a quiet beach-side lane, comfort/cruiser bikes are the ticket. With a super-relaxed riding position, padded seats, and limited or no gearing, these bikes are made for enjoying the scenery and having fun with the family.

The Right Price
A bike’s price boils down to three essentials: frame materials, bike weight, and component quality and durability.

• Entry-level–You’ll find a wide range of comfort and cruiser bikes in this category, as well as some lower-end mountain bikes and road bikes. Most will have steel frames and components that are designed to last for several years with frequent use.
• Mid-range–Bikes in this range may feature a lighter aluminum frame with mid-range components that keep performing after miles of use. If you’re looking for a quality bike that is relatively lightweight and will stand up to abuse, this is the “sweet spot.” Most serious commuter and touring bikes fall into this category, as do mid-range mountain bikes with a decent front suspension.
• High-end–Racers and serious enthusiasts who expect lightweight, high-performance components will want to stick to this category. For road bikes, exotic frame materials (carbon fiber, titanium) and ultra-lightweight components can add thousands to the price tag. Mountain bikes in this class often feature advanced front and rear suspension technology, as well as components designed to handle lots of rugged trail action.

The Right Size
Fit is crucial for comfort, control, and proper power and endurance on a bike. Here are some basic bike fit tips:

• Stand-over Height–To find out if a bike’s overall height fits your body, measure your inseam. Next, determine how much clearance you’ll need between your crotch and the top tube of the bike. For a mountain bike, you’ll want three to five inches of clearance. A road bike should offer between one and two inches of clearance, while a commuter bike should have two to four inches. Compare the stand-over height for a given bike to your measurements (inseam + clearance) to determine the right bike height.
• Top Tube Length–You can measure your torso to get a good estimate of proper top tube length. First, make a fist and extend your arm. Measure from the center of your fist to the end of your collarbone (the part that intersects your shoulder). Next, measure your torso by placing a book against your crotch with the spine facing up. Measure from the spine to the bottom of your throat (the spot between your collarbones). Finally, add the two measurements (arm length + torso length), divide the number in half and subtract six inches. This is your approximate top tube length. Compare this number to a bike’s posted top tube length. You can allow for about two inches longer or shorter, as most bikes can be adjusted via stem length/height and saddle fore/aft position to make fine adjustments to the fit.
• Bikes for Women–Proportionally, women tend to have a shorter torso and longer legs than men. Bike makers design women’s bikes that offer a shorter top tube and many comfort/cruiser bikes built for women may also provide more stand-over clearance.

The Right Accessories
When you make a bike purchase, don’t forget these crucial add-ons:

• Helmet (this is a must!)
• Seat pack
• Lock
• Hydration pack, or water bottles and bottle cages
• Spare tubes
• Portable bike pump
• Gloves

Customer Review: Mediocre
This was my first road bike but I rode into the ground. I’ve easily put 600-700 miles on it in three months and it’s ready to be retired. The pedals make an clicking sound and the gears don’t change well. In fact, my chain tends to fall off from time to time.

Customer Review: GMC Denali Road Bike
This is a great entry level bicycle. I knew next to nothing about bicycles but was in a position where I needed a bicycle to take me to work every day (two miles) and school every other day (eight miles).

Saris Bike Beam Trunk and Hitch Rack Crossbar Adapter for Dual Suspension and Women’s Bicycle Frames If you have a non-traditional bike frame–such as a full-suspension or a women’s bike with slanting frame–the Saris Bike Beam will help you transport the bike using your trunk or hitch-mounted rack. It attaches from the seat post to the handlebar area of the bike to create a level beam that can be easily stored on a rack.

Customer Review: Does what it is supposed to do.
This product works like it is described. It does a great job of putting odd framed bikes onto a standard bike rack. The mountain bike that I have has a suspension frame that made it difficult to mount onto a rack. The other bike is my wifes, a womens bike, and it also worked well. It is very sturdy and durable. The one advice that I would give when using it is to make sure your seat is securely attached, as this is where the adapter locks onto. Have not used any other adapters, so I cant compare them to any others.
Customer Review: Travel Easy
My sister and I bought adult tricycles. The Saris crossbar makes it easy to transport our trikes to beautiful places.

Hollywood Racks HR300 Road Runner 3-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Receiver)) Easily one of the best selling rack systems ever, Road Runners hold three (HR300 series) or four (HR400 series) bikes tight with durable rubber bike stabilizers and an anti-sway tiedown bar. The loaded rack tilts for cargo area access, and the arms and bar fold when not in use. Our No-Wobble system eliminates slack between receiver hitch and rack; the system includes 9′ security cable and two keyed-alike padlocks. Available for 1-1/4 & 2″ receiver hitch; 2″ extension for SUVs with external spare tire available.
Customer Review: I tend to be critical
Halfway out to Colorado on the rack’s maiden voyage, I looked in the rear-view mirror to see the outermost bike tilted at a 30 degree angle. The rubber straps still gripped the bike frame, but one of them had itself slipped off the rack. No wonder the instructions say to be sure to tie the separate fabric strap securely to the frame; this keeps the rubber strap bracket from shaking loose.
Additionally, the two metal arms you see on top are spaced too widely to accomodate many children’s bikes.
I haven’t checked out any of the competition, to see if they’re any better.
Customer Review: WOW
The title says it all…I reviewed countless carriers before deciding on this one and it has not disappointed. The No-Wobble system works very, very well…the carrier is solid and still regardless of the terrain you’re going over and the bikes don’t move an inch when properly strapped on. I would recommend this bike carrier to anyone looking for a quality and solidly built carrier.

Pacific Gray’s Peak Girl’s 24-Inch’s Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike Customer Review: Poorly made bicycle
I was not expecting a “pro” bike, but neither was I expecting as poorly made a product as this. I have 3 bikes of my own and all the tools to fix a bike. My kids seem to grow through their bikes so fast I decided to save some money and buy one online. Big mistake. This bike weighs a ton (about 40 pounds) and the ball bearings in the hubs are so poorly made turning the wheels quite an effort to move. (This is after I trued the wheels as well as possible.) Waste of money and not worth effort to even return, though I should. Spend another $100. and get a better bike. All the components on this bike are quite cheap and fall apart quite easily if you try to adjust.
I do not reveiw products often but this one is such a bad clunker I felt the need to warn people to avoid.
Customer Review: Packaging
Bike damaged inside of box (seat and rear reflector). Exterior of box had no sign of damage,but box is much larger than bike which allows the bike to slide back and forth. Rear wheel - tire had to be installed onto rim, rim is already attached to bike frame. Front tire was already installed on rim with air in it, so that only requires mounting the front wheel assembly to the bike frame. Assembly booklet covers different models which makes it harder to follow the assembly and adjustments. All parts will require lubrication - Bike was very squeaky on the suspensions areas. Granddaughter is happy with getting the bike
