Various news reports relate that more bikes than cars were sold in 2004, 2005, and assumedly, two-wheelers will continue to win the sales race in 2006.
How to Choose the Right Bike?
Several sites offer tips, including:
1. Know your type. Do you want a road bike, a mountain bike, a touring bike, or a racing bike?
2. Know your fit. Make sure that the handlebars and seat are positioned properly, and that you have the right frame height and length.
3. Don't forget accessories. You might want a bell, or a horn, or a basket to tote things.
And remember, you never forget how to ride a bike - but if you're picking up riding again after several years, it won't be the same at the start as it was back in your teens. Start slow and be good to yourself.
