Type Of Bikes
Mountain bikes have wide, knobby tires, flat handlebars and suspension to help you absorb bumps. The gearing is also typically easier to allow for climbing serious hills. The suspension makes bikes a bit heavy and the knobby tires make them slower, but if you’re riding offroad over rough terrain like roots and rocks (or doing cool jumps!), this is the bike for you.
Hybrid bikes are a mix between road and mountain bikes. They usually have flat handlebars, medium-width tires, and the ability to add a rack. They allow the rider to sit more comfortably upright. Some have suspension and others don’t. If you’re looking to commute or ride recreationally, we’d recommend a hybrid. The majority of our customers choose hybrid bikes.
Road bikes have narrower tires and drop handlebars (the curved ones!). They’re lightweight, fast and meant for riding on the pavement. You’ll feel bumps and lean forward more than with other bike styles. But if you’re looking for speed, or really long rides on pavement, this is definitely what you should choose.
Kids’ bikes are sized based on the diameter of the tires. They usually range from 12” for tiny riders up to 24” for 8-12 year olds. After that kids graduate to adult sizes. Balance bikes don’t have pedals which helps the youngest riders to learn balance before pedaling.
How to Find the Right Bike for You
If you’re mostly riding on pavement, you’ll want a road or hybrid bike. Hybrid bikes with certain tires are also good for gravel or packed dirt without a lot of bumps. Mountain bikes are meant for rough, off-road terrain.

If you’re racing or looking for speed, you’ll want the narrowest, smoothest tires typically on a road bike. If you’re commuting or riding recreationally, you’ll probably want a hybrid.

Steel is the heaviest, but allows for the most comfortable ride. Aluminium is lighter than steel, but not as forgiving with bumps as steel. Carbon fiber is the lightest and allows for a comfortable ride, but it’s expensive.

We don’t recommend or sell department store bikes–such as Huffy, Roadmaster, or Pacific. Although they’re initially less expensive, the components (all the parts and pieces) are cheap, often plastic, and break easily. So they’re less reliable and more costly to own in the long...
