Buy a Mountain Bike or a Road Bike?

We sell and service many brands and models of bikes, and we navigate you toward the perfect bike for your needs. Firstly, you need to decide on a road or mountain bike because they are designed to handle different riding conditions.

Manufacturers design mountain bikes to go off-road on rocky and uneven terrain and to go over and around obstacles. Tyres are sturdy and typically wider with knobby tread to handle rocks and logs. The sturdiness of the frame is matched to the body mass of the rider and can include rear suspension to absorb shocks. Handlebars are usually flat or raised which you choose for your riding style.

Builders create road bikes for speed on even road surfaces. They include tyres that are lighter and narrower with smoother tread. Frames are lightweight for less drag and increased speed, and it is fitted to the height of the rider more so than the mass. Many handlebars are curved to accommodate a variety of riding styles but can also be flat.

Before you buy a mountain bike or road bike take an honest look at what types of riding you want. Do you want to ride rough and secluded terrain, or do you want a smooth surface you share with cars and trucks? Do you want to ride for speed and cardiovascular fitness or varied and quick handling for dynamic fitness?

If all types of riding sound attractive; hybrid bikes give you the best of both worlds. They contain a blending of traits between mountain and road bikes and are perfect for those who ride on roads and gentler off-road trails. If you are unsure, try a bike hire or borrow one from a friend so you can try out both before you make a final decision. You can also peruse the different brands we offer before deciding to buy a mountain bike.

Womens Mountain Bike

A womens mountain bike fits a woman’s body in specific ways to make it more comfortable to handle than a standard men’s bike. A womens mountain bike frame has a shorter stand-over height and is typically thinner and lighter. Saddles are wider for the differences in the sit bones, and the handlebars are narrower with thinner grips to accommodate narrower shoulders and smaller hands. Even though manufacturers manufacture mountain bikes for women, slight modifications to men’s bikes can suit many women.

If you are considering a road or mountain bike and you need advice contact Blue Cycles, and our knowledgeable staff can help you. Our stock includes bikes for all ability levels, riding styles and budgets. We don’t sell cheap mountain bikes but rather sell quality mountain bikes cheaply.
