Features of choice
When choosing a vehicle, several points should be considered.
- First of all, you need to decide under what conditions you will use it. For different tasks, various models have been developed. It is not worth buying an ordinary city bike type classic for extreme trips: it is not designed for this. Of course, you will make several trips on it, but at the same time you will see the discrepancy between the route of the track. Yes, and the risk of injury in such cases increases sharply - after all, the brakes of urban transport may not cope in the complex area.
- The user's age is also of great importance. It is not worth buying a teenager "on the grow" bike, because it is designed for a higher growth, and when driving, the child will strain hard and get tired, which, in turn, increases the possibility of various injuries.
- Price issue . You do not need to save on purchase, but also not worth overpaying.
Consult the seller, indicating the limit of your funds for the purchase of a bicycle to pick up a high-quality and convenient cycle model.
