How to choose the right bike in everyday life

Of course, you can not get started until you have your fingers in the right bike. Bikester.dk guides you through the most important factors when choosing a new bike. First of all, you need to think about what purpose the bike should serve in everyday life. If you are looking for a greener alternative to the car, the city bike is the perfect model. This classic bike is designed for daily transport in paved and more even terrain. It is typically designed for urban transport, which is why you will most often find models that support an upright position in the saddle.

The saddles are wide and sprung, so you can get comfortably from A to B. The city bike is available with and without basket as well as a large selection of colors and frame designs. Should the bike be able to transport children, groceries, friends or lots of gear, the cargo bike is perfect for you. Models with the classic box at the front are available with a built-in seat and harness for children as well as fully or partially detachable sides for easier entry and exit. If you primarily want to transport larger items, you can choose the iconic Long John model.

Even if your daily exercise is available in the saddle, riding an electric bike does not compromise on either the high heart rate or comfort. You can still get good with sweat on your forehead, because the only thing you save is time. The electric bike gives you an extra push and higher speed, which means you get to your destination faster.

Test your limits in the green nature

If you want a bike for adventure, sports and exercise, this is not your city bike you should take with you. There is a wide range of bikes designed specifically for different types of outdoor movement. Do you dream of cycling on the long country roads? Then this is the road bike you need to look for. As the name suggests, this particular type is designed for the long, straight country roads. Although all bikes can take you along the paved roads, the road bike is optimized to make the straight stretches as comfortable and efficient as possible. This is achieved through narrower tires, lightweight components and a sleek chassis design.

The road bike is the most aerodynamic bike on the market and it is designed for speed across the field. If your ambitions are directed more towards the muddy and uneven terrain, a mountain bike is the answer. This type of bike comes with a wider frame that is optimized to receive shocks and blows. Unlike the smooth and sleek wheels of the road bike, a mountain bike has a wide profile and thicker, bumpy tires. It has it to strengthen the contact with the surface, even when it is wet and slippery.
