Avenue Cyclery has a variety of bikes from the best brands, along with friendly, expert staff to help you pick the right bike. There are bikes for covering endless miles of pavement, cruisers for riding around town in style, mountain bikes for everything from big jumps to mellow trails and hybrid bikes which do a variety of things well. 

Before you’re ready to start shopping, the most important thing you can do is know what kind of riding you’re going to want to do. So before we start talking about different types of bikes and which one might be right for you, let’s do a little exercise. At the end of this paragraph lean back, close your eyes and imagine your ideal ride . . .

Were you ripping down a sweet singletrack or slicing through morning traffic on your way to work? Did you find yourself banging handlebars in a local road race or launching a jump on a DH run? Knowing what that ideal ride looks like will provide the basis for the shopping and test rides to come.  

The next question will be to decide if you’re going to be doing other types of riding on your new bike. Will you be doing some epic XC rides in addition to races; will you be riding the occasional century in addition to your regular commute?

With these questions answered, we’re now ready to start the shopping process by looking at popular types of bikes. Once you know which type of bike is going to suit your riding best, the expert staff of Avenue Cyclery can help you find a bike in your budget which fits you properly and will put a big smile on your face.
