Why Buy at a Bike Store?

Hi. I'm Mark. I'm here with Expert Village at The Competitive Edge Cyclery in Upland to explain how to buy a quality bike from a bike shop. If you're really looking to buy a nice bike please go to a bike store. When you go to a bike store you're going to have a choice of multiple sizes and that's going to transfer into a more comfortable bike and a bike that will fit you properly. Some of the features that a bike like this here has compared to a bike at a big box store would be things like, most importantly, you're going to get a frame that comes in multiple sizes and will fit you. It will have aluminum rims, not steel rims. It will have quick release wheels so you can take the wheels on and off very easily in case you need to put it in the car or if you do have a flat. It will also have multiple speeds. Again, a very upright position and shock and seat posts, wide saddle for comfort, just a very enjoyable bike.
