Cycling is a good alternative to running. Unlike running, cycling does not stress the knees, which means that cycling has fewer contraindications. Therefore, velobikes are much more popular.
What are the types of bicycles?
In fact, now there are more than 7 types of bicycles that are designed for specific conditions and certain categories of users. STELS offers the following categories of bicycles:
- mountain;
- extreme;
- children's;
- cargo;
- highway;
- mountain women;
- balance bikes;
- folding;
- road;
- teenage;
- two-suspended.
How to choose?
- First you need to decide who is buying the product.Since there are separate types of bicycles for adults (separately male and female), children and teenagers.
- Determine for what purpose you are buying a bike - for driving around the city, the countryside, the roadway, for transporting goods, and so on. And accordingly, proceeding from this, determine the type.
- Pay attention to the height of the cyclist, as the bicycle frame has its own dimensions, which must be selected according to your height in order to make the ride comfortable.
- Weight also plays a role, since if the body weight is over 110 kg, then the frame must be made of quality materials that are designed for maximum loads.
