Bicycles FAQs
I need to bike to work, any suggestions?
The fact of the matter is that biking to work is something that is usually easiest done on a road bike. But, this does not mean that you cannot use a bike that is also built for off-road riding. If you can find something of a hybrid that can do both, you will be in good shape. When it comes down to it, there really is no reason why you couldn’t ride a mountain bike to work on city roads.
How about vice versa?
Now this scenario could definitely present some problems. Anybody who has ever tried to ride a road bike on rough terrain has undoubtedly not had a very nice experience. The biggest problem is that the tires on a road bike are extremely thin. This means that they are not able to hold up nearly as well on a mountain trail. They feel every bump and have an increased likelihood of slipping.
What kinds of bike accessories should I buy for my kids?
The most important thing you can buy for your child is a bike helmet. This helmet can be a lifesaver if some type of accident were to happen. They can help protect against internal bleeding and skull fractures. If you have a helmet, you may also want to consider loading up on other safety features. Installing a few extra reflectors is not a bad idea of you want to make sure your kids are visible at night.
