Looking for that right bike? We Got it!

Bicycling lets you have fun and get exercise while being kind to the environment at the same time. It can also be a great way to run errands, commute to work or experience a backcountry trail, not to mention more serious pursuits such as touring or racing. Whatever your goals, you have a number of bicycle options to take you there. The aim of this article is to help beginners, casual riders or those who haven’t ridden in a while to select the right type of bike for them.

Your first consideration is to know where you’ll be riding: on pavement, dirt trails or both. Some bicycles are made specifically for a particular kind of riding surface, while others are versatile enough that, perhaps with a quick tire change, they can be ridden in more than one category. To get you started, here is a general breakdown of the different kinds of bikes that NBS carries. Within each of these categories are individual models that emphasize performance, versatility or comfort.
