How To Choose The Right Used Bike

To choose the right used bike, there are a few considerations to note. There are several different types of bikes to choose from, so you need to decide how you want to use the bike and how much you'd like to spend.

• A mountain bike is designed for off-road use but can ride on-road too. They are heavier than road bikes or hybrid bikes and are used mainly on single-track trails, mountain trails, and dirt or gravel. They typically have sturdier frames, flat-bar handlebars, and a suspension system built to absorb the hits and not your body. The tires are wide and knobby and provide exceptional traction off-road but are cumbersome for on-road use as they are slower and can make pedaling harder.
• Road bikes are lighter and more efficient than mountain bikes. You can count on a good road bike to be faster on paved roads, paved paths, and smooth paths. They are built with lighter frames and thinner wheels to make them supremely efficient and can be used for racing, touring, or everyday riding. Road bikes ride great on paved surfaces and make great commuter bikes, but are not suitable for unpaved or uneven terrain.
• Gravel bikes are like a road bike, but with disc brakes and clearance for larger tires. Gravel bikes offer a lot of versatility because they can be set up with slick road tires for extra speed on paved roads or larger knobby tires for gravel roads and some trails. The tires are not as large and knobby as a mountain bike, so they still ride very well on paved roads.
• If you'd like to have the ability to use your bike on-road and off-road, a hybrid bike will give you the best of both worlds. Hybrid gravel and road bikes are versatile and allow you to ride on paved surfaces or rough terrain. Hybrid bikes are set up with mountain bike style handlebars.
