Road bikes, mountain bikes and hybrid bikes make up three categories of bikes. Buying a bike is like buying clothes. You need to adapt to the needs of the occasion, figure, and function. Whether it's cross-country in the suburbs or racing on the track, as long as you are engaged in cycling, you must choose a bike that is very suitable for you. No matter what kind of bicycle you buy, size is a factor that must be considered. A bike that is suitable for your height and weight will make you comfortable and enjoy more riding fun.
