About City Bikes

For those who have never used a bike, well, there’s some severe missing out that’s happening. Even if it’s just for the experience, try it out, and you will be delighted! A lot of us start out as kids, and the love for bikes never stops after that. The fact that it does not take any fuel or as much maintenance as cars and motorbikes do is reason enough. Plus, they are also a healthy option since you can end up getting your quota of cardio without even going to the gym. It’s everything you need if your target is to keep fit. Cycling also tones your thighs and legs, making it a complete workout in itself. City bikes make it possible to get to places in the area, even with other traffic and other issues.

Different types of best city bikes you can ride today 

There can be quite a few reasons why people choose a bike to ride every day. It can be to save money since they’re inexpensive or to cut down the issue of frequent maintenance and being careful with other automobiles. The environment factor is also a big reason, and a way to keep fit. Whatever be the case, it is a healthy and easy option to commute. Even if you get one for the sheer purpose of riding it in the evening, it’s worth considering. If you want, check for the beginner range of bikes that are inexpensive and perfect for trying out. If you find time to use it and like the experience, perhaps you can go in for something better. Either way, it’s worth trying out, and the results will surprise you! 

The electric bike 

The electric city bike mainly comprises three main components – the battery, motor and accelerator. They are more expensive than regular bikes. However, since they started getting famous in 2017, the question of whether them being worth it or not has continuously surfaced. The accelerator of these bikes can be a pedal-assist or throttle. Most of the old ones had lead-based batteries, while the latest ones used Lithium-Ion batteries. The motor is generally placed at the hub of the wheel or the bottom of the bike, and you can choose on that you feel best. They are faster as compared to regular bikes and sometimes also cut the travel time down half! They are cheaper than filling gas in your car, and you don’t get stuck in traffic either. 

The cruiser bike 

The city cruiser bikes fall into the category of hybrid bikes. The comfortable seating and ease of riding make them a common choice as compared to other bikes. The wide balloon tires of this type of bike make it an extremely comfortable option in the long run. A lot of the cruiser bikes come in 3-speed or single-speed. The best use is for short distances and travelling; however, using them every day also isn’t an issue. Make sure you go for a reputed brand and a good bike, so it lasts you long, without any problems. These are a few of the bikes that come in colourful choices, of course, depending on the brand and make. A lot of people also prefer the bike with the old-fashioned coaster brakes.  

The mountain bike 

Perfect for areas that are not smooth, these types of quad city bikes are slowly gaining popularity. If you love adventure and prefer to travel on a bike, then it’s the best choice in this case. The handlebars are flat, and this factor makes them easy to move. The low gear range of these bikes makes it easy to pedal upwards. They are also lighter yet sturdier, so it’s comfortable to use them. The front suspension bikes are called hardtails, while front and rear suspension ones are termed full-suspension bikes. The rigid bikes are the ones with no suspension. While you can use them for long travels, they are not as comfortable as commuting bikes. 

The folding bike 

For the ones who are looking at city bikes for commuting and don’t want to get something that will consume a lot of space, this one is the best choice. The folding city bike is a new and increasingly popular choice of bike. It’s the best choice if your home is compact, or you need to keep the bike in another place. Whatever the reason, this one is the most space-saving option you can find today. If you travel halfway on a bicycle and need to get a free transfer or go with a friend after that, then too the folding bike is the perfect option. The bikes have smaller wheels, which makes them a little challenging to ride. However, they are designed for the right comfort level, although you cannot travel very long distances on them.  

Tips on how to buy City Bike

If you don‘t have a bike and want to get one, well, it’s never too late. Now is the best time, since they are so many unusual varieties that are available. You can check online to see the best ones and decide accordingly. However, the baseline is that you can still get a little confused when it comes to making the right choice. If this is one of your challenges, then these easy tips are the best ones to make your decision easy.

  • Understand your requirement – Firstly, get an idea of what you plan on using the bike for. Whether it’s for commuting, biking as exercise or mountaineering or fitness. Depending on your requirement, you can then make the best choice.
  • Check the best brands – Get a list of the top brands in your budget. You can see their offerings and read some reviews. The best bike is only good for its quality, and with a reliable brand, you can be sure of that aspect.
  • Keep a budget – Set a budget so you don‘t end up spending more than you estimated. Research beforehand and get an idea of what you can spend. This way, you also avoid getting fooled if someone is charging more than the average price on websites.
  • Don‘t rush your decision – Take time to check out the different types of bikes and buy only when you are 100% sure. It‘s not an easy decision, and taking the time to get to the right one is the best thing to do.
  • Bike warranty or guarantee – Your bike should have a reasonable warranty period to cover any issues if they surface. This way, you don‘t end up spending more money once you have already invested in the bike.
  • Check for online choices – Shopping online is the best way to get what you want at a reasonable price. With this, you can also access some super discounts and deals if you‘re lucky enough!

The other features of the bike are also important. Sometimes you end up paying more only for that. However, if they are not something you will use frequently, then avoid buying them. You can also connect with a friend or colleague who is fond of bikes to help guide you in the right direction. Personal recommendations go a long way. Another great idea is to check online reviews. You can also connect with people to understand better.
