Bike buying guides and cycling tips

Given the wide ranging choice of bicycles, we think it's handy to have an overview of the different types of bikes. The buying guides below may help you understand more about the differences between bike types and decide which is right for you.

Are you trying to find a bike that no longer seems to exist, for example a Specialized Globe or a Giant SCR? You may find our article on disappeared bike models and their new equivalents a useful read.

We also offer cycling guides with information about cycling with children, winter cycling tips or spring and summer cycling tips, and other seasonal cycling information.

You may also find our bikes and cycle clothing sizing guides useful to help deciding the most suitable size for yourself or the person you're buying for.

As always, if these guides don't answer your questions, we're more than happy to advise you personally if you call us on 01792 799508 or use the Live Help at the top of the page.
