It’s easy to see that not all bike riders are the same. People come in all shapes and sizes. It’s not only about your height, weight or sex; it’s also about where you ride and how you ride. Your idea of biking may be a leisurely cruise down on the River’s Edge Trail, or maybe you like to see how fast you can go speeding down King’s Hill, or you might be drooling in anticipation of the new skate park so you can soar high above the half-pipe.


Just like people, bikes come in various sizes. It’s like buying a pair of shoes... selecting the right size ensures a comfortable and safe fit. After you’ve selected the type of bike you need, our experts will work closely with you to ensure that the bike you choose fits you like a glove.


The type of bike you ride, whether it is road, mountain or bmx, is tied most closely to where you ride. For example, the fat knobby tires on a mountain bike were designed specifically for dirt, rocks, and tree stumps, while the thin slick tires on a road bike give you maximum speed on a smooth surface.

Mountain Bikes: off road and combination on-and-off road

Road Bikes: primarily on smooth surfaces

BMX Bikes: bicycle moto-cross and trick courses, bike parks, parking lots
