Amazon.com Bicycle Buying Guide Finding the Right Bike To really enjoy cycling, it's important to find a bicycle that works for you. Here are some things to keep in mind when you're in the market for a new bike: The Right Ride In general, bikes are broken down into three major categories: Road and Racing Bikes--As a general rule, road and racing are built for speed and longer distances on paved surfaces. Thinner tires, lightweight 29-inch (700c) wheels, and drop bars that allow for a more aerodynamic position are the norm. Most road bikes, regardless of price, offer many gears for tackling both hilly and flat terrain. Mountain Bikes--With their larger tires, hill-friendly gearing, and upright position, mountain bikes are very popular for all types of riding, both on pavement and off. Mountain bikes that are designed specifically for rugged trail use typically feature a suspension fork. Some may have rear suspension, as well. A quick change of the tires on any mountain bike--even one that you use regularly on trails--adds to its versatility and makes it a worthy street machine. Comfort/Cruiser Bikes--For tooling around on bike paths, light trails, or for cruising a quiet beach-side lane, comfort/cruiser bikes are the ticket. With a super-relaxed riding position, padded seats, and limited or no gearing, these bikes are made for enjoying the scenery and having fun with the family. The Right Price A bike's price boils down to three essentials: frame materials, bike weight, and component quality and durability. Entry-level--You'll find a wide range of comfort and cruiser bikes in this category, as well as some lower-end mountain bikes and road bikes. Most will have steel frames and components that are designed to last for several years with frequent use. Mid-range--Bikes in this range may feature a lighter aluminum frame with mid-range components that keep performing after miles of use. If you're looking for a quality bike that is relatively lightweight and will stand up to abuse, this is the "sweet spot." Most serious commuter and touring bikes fall into this category, as do mid-range mountain bikes with a decent front suspension. High-end--Racers and serious enthusiasts who expect lightweight, high-performance components will want to stick to this category. For road bikes, exotic frame materials (carbon fiber, titanium) and ultralightweight components can add thousands to the price tag. Mountain bikes in this class often feature advanced front and rear suspension technology, as well as components designed to handle lots of rugged trail action. The Right Size Fit is crucial for comfort, control, and proper power and endurance on a bike. Here are some basic bike fit tips: Stand-over Height--To find out if a bike's overall height fits your body, measure your inseam. Next, determine how much clearance you'll need between your crotch and the top tube of the bike. For a mountain bike, you'll want three to five inches of clearance. A road bike should offer between one and two inches of clearance, while a commuter bike should have two to four inches. Compare the stand-over height for a given bike to your measurements (inseam + clearance) to determine the right bike height. Top Tube Length--You can measure your torso to get a good estimate of proper top tube length. First, make a fist and extend your arm. Measure from the center of your fist to the end of your collarbone (the part that intersects your shoulder). Next, measure your torso by placing a book against your crotch with the spine facing up. Measure from the spine to the bottom of your throat (the spot between your collarbones). Finally, add the two measurements (arm length + torso length), divide the number in half, and subtract six inches. This is your approximate top tube length. Compare this number to a bike's posted top tube length. You can allow for about two inches longer or shorter, as most bikes can be adjusted via stem length/height and saddle fore/aft position to make fine adjustments to the fit. Bikes for Women--Proportionally, women tend to have a shorter torso and longer legs than men. Bike makers design women's bikes that offer a shorter top tube and many comfort/cruiser bikes built for women may also provide more stand-over clearance. The Right Accessories When you make a bike purchase, don't forget these crucial add-ons: Helmet (this is a must!) Seat pack Lock Hydration pack, or water bottle and bottle cage Spare tubes Portable bike pump Gloves |

Featured Article:

If you are a fan of road cycle racing you will already know that you need to watch the colors of the riders' cycling shirts very closely to find out who the race leaders are. Even if you just watch cycling on the television occasionally, you will probably know as a matter of general knowledge that in the Tour de France, the rider with the yellow jersey is the one who is in the lead.
However, the one wearing the yellow cycling shirt is not always the person to look out for across all stages of the race. Some stages of the Tour de France involve gruelling mountain ascents, and the leader in these types of race section has a jersey of his own. The mountain stage leader is often referred to as the King of the Mountains, and wears a white jersey with red polka dots. It is possible that the mountain experts are not great at sprint racing and other sections of the overall Tour, so despite being leaders in the tough hillside climbs, they generally will not threaten to overtake the yellow jersey holder.
Many stages of the French Tour - and of other major cycle races - are designed for sprinting, and the first riders to complete these sprints are awarded points, according to their position in that section. Getting points is the goal in personal and team time trials, but these points are also awarded for the first riders past the finishing line in all other stages. The mountain stages award less points, as the climbing specialists often win these. The riders' points are added up, and the rider with the highest tally wears the green jersey.
So it is not as simple as keeping your eyes peeled for the yellow jersey when you watch televised cycling. There are several other colors available in the Tour de France, including the white jersey which is for the young riders - currently for competitors under 26 years old. It is important to remember that these cycling shirt classifications only apply to the Tour de France, and the picture becomes slightly confusing if you start watching a race and do not realise it is one of the other main Tours.
There are three major races, together called The Grand Tours, which include the Tour de France, the Vuelta a Espana and the Giro d'Italia. The Spanish Vuelta awards similar jerseys to the French Tour; the gold jersey for the overall leader and green jersey for the points leader. However, the King of the Mountains in Spain wears red rather than polka dots.
In the Italian Giro, the cycling shirts system is entirely different, with the overall race leader taking the pink jersey, while the points leader wears red and King of the Mountains has the green, confusingly opposite to the awards in the Vuelta!
Does a yellow cycling shirt always make you a winner then? Perhaps. It depends which race you are watching, but hopefully you will now be armed with the secret information you need, to understand whose progress you should be concentrating on next time you sit down to an evening of cycling on TV.

What size road (racing) bike should I buy?
Im 6'2" tall and thinking of upgrading from my trusty old mountian bike to a road bike but not sure what size frame, wheels etc to get. I know that the seat should be somewhere near level with your hips but this doesnt help when buying on the internet! I normally wear 32"/34" leg jeans if that makes any difference?
If someone could give me a trustworthy average frame and wheel size etc it would be very helpful!
Cheers
Ok....forget what you know about frame sizing and everything about standover height. That's not how you choose a frame (it's a factor and a decent starting point, but other factors are much, much more important).
Nothing beats spending a little quality time with a good bike shop to figure out which size will fit you best......seriously. Different frames from different manufacturers will measure a bit off from one advertised frame size to another. If there's no way that you can do that with a shop employee, and if you have a 34" actual inseam (crotch-to-floor, not your clothing size), then pick up a 60cm frame. It should be close to spot-on for your height and inseam dimensions, and you can fine tune the fit with components if need be. A 58cm frame might also fit you well, depending on the dimensions of the tubing and the geometry of the bike. If your inseam is closer to 32" then definitely get the 60cm because you'll need the extra top tube length.
Proper fit on a road bike is far more important to your comfort than it is on a mountain bike and you'll figure out pretty quick if the bike doesn't fit well. Hopefully you won't hate it and be so uncomfortable that you think road biking sucks (and I'm saying that to you as one who is primarily a mountain bike rider and gravity bonehead).
It's still best to do this with a knowledgeable bike shop, though. Can't stress that enough.
