Cycling is more popular than it has ever been, and is the perfect way to stay fit and healthy. Unfortunately, as its popularity increases, a potential cyclist is faced with more and more buying options, each with their own particular advantages.
Cycling is particularly suited to inner city areas, where it can provide not only health benefits, but can also help to limit pollution. Commuting to work via a cycle is therefore extremely popular these days. The inner city presents several disadvantages for cyclists, and therefore when buying a cycle for inner city usage, your choice of bike is important.

For example, folding bikes are a great choice for commuters, as they are easy to store, and can therefore be easily transported on trains, and stowed away at home or at work. The  convenience of a folding bike is perhaps a little undermined by its lack of performance however.

Road bikes are a better performing alternative, and are therefore a great option for those requiring inner-city usage who don’t wish to compromise on the performance of their ride. As its name suggests, a road bike is ideally suited to life on the roads, and is therefore perfect for inner-city usage.

As with all bikes, within the category “road bike” there are many and varied buying options, and prices can range from the hundreds to the thousands of pounds. They are therefore a great option for cyclists who want use of their bike beyond the commute, for weekend rides or even tours.

Most simply, the thing to look for when buying a road bike is sizing, and even more than quality, the size of your bike will determine the quality of your ride. Besides sizing, by choosing the right brand you can be sure of a great bike.

The best bike dealerships, like Tweeks Cycles – Mountain Bikes, (online and instore) will help and guide you to find your perfect road bike – so let’s get riding!
