Rating of the best models
For many, a bicycle is not just weekend entertainment or a practical thing for city driving, but a truly “war horse” and even the meaning of a lifetime.
The model of the vehicle should be not only as comfortable as possible for driving, but also reliable, stylish, dynamic, functional, compact and passable.

How to choose?
A bicycle is a purely individual thing and the choice should be taken seriously. The main thing is to take into account your own preferences, physiological characteristics and technical characteristics of the bike. Only in this way will you be able to purchase convenient vehicles that will comfortably move around.
When choosing a bike, consider the following options.
User height and weight
The choice of a mountain bike is affected by height and weight according to the size of the frame. Bicycle manufacturers compose their size chart for a specific model. There is approximately a standard table:
- 150-165 cm - S;
- 156-170 cm - M;
- 167-178 cm - M;
- 172-180 cm - L;
- 178-185 cm - L.
If in doubt about the size, you can calculate it yourself. It is necessary to measure the length from the groin to the feet in centimeters and multiply by a factor of 0.57.
When choosing, consider some other features:
- full and elderly fit bikes with a small frame;
- speed lovers should choose a model with a larger frame;
- girls who adore tricks, give preference to a low frame.
When buying a mountain bike, do not take the model less than the growth parameters, but too large will be inconvenient.
Material
Ask the seller what material the unit is made of. Most often, manufacturers use alloys of aluminum and titanium. Alloy steel and carbon fiber products are also on sale. Such models are lighter in weight, but also more expensive.
If you need a price-quality ratio, then pay attention to designs made of chrome and molybdenum. Such models have proven themselves only from the best side. With a relatively small weight, they withstand great loads.
From time to time, a woman will have to lift a bicycle, and its weight should not exceed 13 kg. The heavier the bike, the harder it is to drive. Especially if you are a fragile girl.
Saddle and steering position
If possible, try cycling a bit. Sitting in the saddle, you should feel comfortable and not stoop, and the pedals - spin smoothly, without difficulty. Only in this way will the shoulders, back and lower back not get tired of walking.
The height of the saddle must be chosen correctly, in accordance with your height. When riding, the legs will straighten at the bottom of the pedals and will not get tired and sore in the knees.
Cost
A bicycle made from quality materials cannot be cheap. Pay attention to the middle price segment. If your budget is limited, discard some accessories.
Do not save on technical equipment, as shock absorbers, brakes, tires, suspension are not only responsible for passenger safety, but also affect the life of the vehicle.
