BUYING A BIKE

BUYING A BIKE
Follow these rules:
1.     Stand astride your test bike and measure the distance between the top tube and your crotch. You need 1 inch of clearance over the top tube for a road bike or hybrid, and 2 inch or more inches for a mountain bike.
2.     While in a riding position, the handlebars and stem should block your view of the front wheel’s hub.
If you are undecided about two frame sizes, it’s usually best to choose the smaller size. It is critical for both safety and comfort to have the right size frame when cycling.
