Finding the Right Bike
To really enjoy cycling, it's important to find a bicycle that works for you. Here are some things to keep in mind when you're in the market for a new bike:
The Right Ride
In general, bikes are broken down into three major categories:
- Road and Racing Bikes--As a general rule, road and racing are built for speed and longer distances on paved surfaces. Thinner tires, lightweight 29-inch (700c) wheels and drop bars that allow for a more aerodynamic position are the norm. Most road bikes, regardless of price, offer many gears for tackling both hilly and flat terrain.
- Mountain Bikes--With their larger tires, hill-friendly gearing and upright position, mountain bikes are very popular for all types of riding, both on pavement and off. Mountain bikes that are designed specifically for rugged trail use typically feature a suspension fork. Some may have rear suspension, as well. A quick change of the tires on any mountain bike--even one that you use regularly on trails--adds to its versatility and makes it a worthy street machine.
- Comfort/Cruiser Bikes--For tooling around on bike paths, light trails, or for cruising a quiet beach-side lane, comfort/cruiser bikes are the ticket. With a super-relaxed riding position, padded seats, and limited or no gearing, these bikes are made for enjoying the scenery and having fun with the family.
The Right Price
A bike's price boils down to three essentials: frame materials, bike weight, and component quality and durability.
- Entry-level--You'll find a wide range of comfort and cruiser bikes in this category, as well as some lower-end mountain bikes and road bikes. Most will have steel frames and components that are designed to last for several years with frequent use.
- Mid-range--Bikes in this range may feature a lighter aluminum frame with mid-range components that keep performing after miles of use. If you're looking for a quality bike that is relatively lightweight and will stand up to abuse, this is the "sweet spot." Most serious commuter and touring bikes fall into this category, as do mid-range mountain bikes with a decent front suspension.
- High-end--Racers and serious enthusiasts who expect lightweight, high-performance components will want to stick to this category. For road bikes, exotic frame materials (carbon fiber, titanium) and ultra-lightweight components can add thousands to the price tag. Mountain bikes in this class often feature advanced front and rear suspension technology, as well as components designed to handle lots of rugged trail action.
The Right Size
Fit is crucial for comfort, control, and proper power and endurance on a bike. Here are some basic bike fit tips:
- Stand-over Height--To find out if a bike's overall height fits your body, measure your inseam. Next, determine how much clearance you'll need between your crotch and the top tube of the bike. For a mountain bike, you'll want three to five inches of clearance. A road bike should offer between one and two inches of clearance, while a commuter bike should have two to four inches. Compare the stand-over height for a given bike to your measurements (inseam + clearance) to determine the right bike height.
- Top Tube Length--You can measure your torso to get a good estimate of proper top tube length. First, make a fist and extend your arm. Measure from the center of your fist to the end of your collarbone (the part that intersects your shoulder). Next, measure your torso by placing a book against your crotch with the spine facing up. Measure from the spine to the bottom of your throat (the spot between your collarbones). Finally, add the two measurements (arm length + torso length), divide the number in half and subtract six inches. This is your approximate top tube length. Compare this number to a bike's posted top tube length. You can allow for about two inches longer or shorter, as most bikes can be adjusted via stem length/height and saddle fore/aft position to make fine adjustments to the fit.
- Bikes for Women--Proportionally, women tend to have a shorter torso and longer legs than men. Bike makers design women's bikes that offer a shorter top tube and many comfort/cruiser bikes built for women may also provide more stand-over clearance.
The Right Accessories
When you make a bike purchase, don't forget these crucial add-ons:
- Helmet (this is a must!)
- Seat pack
- Lock
- Hydration pack, or water bottles and bottle cages
- Spare tubes
- Portable bike pump
- Gloves

5.0 out of 5 stars
Cadillac is perfect grown-up's bike,
By Diana (Tennessee, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cadillac Eldorado Lesiure Series Women's Cruiser Bike (Sports)
I bought this bike as a surprise gift for my 50 year-old sister when she was recovering from a serious illness, so can only relate to you what she (or her husband) says about it. Her husband had no problem with assembly. Both of them say that the bicycle is very well built and still relatively lightweight. She reports that the ride is smooth and that the seat is especially comfortable. But, her favorite thing about the bike is its' girly, pink frivolousness. I consider the cost of this bike definitely puts it in the 'luxury purchase' category, but in this case it was well worth the price.

This review is from: Cadillac Eldorado Lesiure Series Women's Cruiser Bike (Sports)
I had a 7-speed Trek Calypso women's cruiser with a 17-inch frame, a bike that ended up costing me almost $400 after tax. It was stolen after two years of love.
This bike was my replacement. I'm 5'4", mostly legs, but opted for the 15 inch frame and i LOVE it. I bring it inside my house every day, can carry it up a flight of stairs (it's so light, even my tiny girl self can handle it) and after just one day of riding it had 3 people ask me where I bought it. This bike is a hit! It's SILENT when on a smooth surface, and the most comfortable bike I've ever ridden. Love the seat. I've ridden on terrible roads, gravel, sand, and grass, and it's still the smoothest bike I've ever been on. I wish it was geared a little faster, but I'm also 22 and like some speed. It's definitely a comfortable gearset. Putting it together was kind of annoying but after some tinkering it went together fine. I love the quick-release seat, too, as bike seats get stolen where I live all the time, and this one's really nice. The color is perfect, a really nice light but vibrant glowing pink. My boyfriend got the men's version. He's 5'9" and got the smaller frame, and it fits him perfectly. He's in love with his bike. The charcoal color is also really stunning; it's flashy without being girly. Flashy, beautiful, fun, and a perfect fit for anyone who wants to ride in style.

Just opened it & put it together...we had a little trouble with part of the assembly, and some instructions would have been nice. BUT, the finished product was well worth a little frustration! It's adorable!! It's the perfect size (I got the smaller frame as I'm 5'3"), it's fun, and I love it. We also ordered a PT Cruiser Men's bike for my fiance... MUCH more impressed with this Cadillac model! The general construction & materials are higher quality... somehow it just feels better.
(And a little basket for the front was the perfect compliment!) Enjoy!! 2115|RYLDV6BUHQX8O;2115|R237IWMSL5GV7Q;2115|RLTQFA2XZHFRO;
