Summer is the best time for outdoor sports. If you have a bike and love to ride it, you are guaranteed to have a good time in the parks, but if you haven’t bought this wonderful vehicle yet, hurry up.
Instructions
Step 1
Determine the parameters that will be key when choosing a bike. These include, for example, the type of bike - road, road or mountain. The type depends on where you mainly ride. It is also important to limit the upper price value of future purchases.
Step 2
Check that you can lift the bike you are studying. You will most likely have to carry it, for example, up the steps of a staircase.
Step 3
Assess the strength of the bike. You should not chase cheapness and purchase a not very reliable model. Otherwise, it may turn out that most of the time you will not ride it, but rather repair the vehicle.
Step 4
Test your bike. Check if it is easy to operate, comfortable. If you are almost immediately comfortable with a new vehicle, the model is definitely yours.
Step 5
Pay attention to the country where the bike was made. If you are looking to buy a low-cost model, go for options from Taiwan and China over Vietnam-made or Malaysian-made bikes.
Step 6
Take the chance to get a discount when you buy last season's model. This way you get a product of the same quality for less money.
Step 7
Don't complicate your choice by diving into the technical data. Just ride a bike and feel whether you are comfortable or not.
Step 8
Find out if it will be possible to buy spare parts for the selected bike in your city. If you buy an unpopular model, there is a risk that in the event of a breakdown, there will be nothing to replace its part.
Step 9
Examine the material from which most of the parts are made. If it is plastic, choose another option.
Step 10
Don't overpay for bells and whistles that don't matter to you. The less unnecessary equipment on your favorite model, the better.
