of you mind and go to the local bike shop for a couple extra
dollars you will get a much better bike , but remember YOUR
BUDGET.
3. Get a bike that is the right size , yes as with shoes and
shirts you need to have a bike fitted , or at least get one
that's not that big or not that small , which can be done at a
bike store but not a supermarket general store.
