Some Reasons Why You Should Not Buy a Bicycle at a Department Store , Supermarket or Toy Shop :Many bicycles are sold each year at department stores. To the untrained eye, they look no different than than those sold at bicycle shops, and sell for much less. There are several reasons you should not buy your bicycle from a department store: :

The frame must be the right size for the rider. Most department stores do not have an assortment of frame sizes for adult bikes, and they dont have experienced salespeople to make sure you get the proper size bike. :Department store bikes either come un-assembled or are assembled by contract employees who are paid by the bike. If you put it together yourself, you will need special tools like cone wrenches to assemble & adjust it.

The components are low-quality, especially the bearings. They wear out quickly, and when the bearings go bad they can also damage the hubs. :They are usually not worth repairing. New bearings & a new wheel will cost about £20 to £40, and if the bike only cost about £80 when it was new, why bother. :

Their resale value is almost nil, while used quality bikes are generally worth about half of their original selling price. :A good bike just makes cycling more fun. Its not so enjoyable when you have to pedal down hills to keep up with your friends who are coasting on good bikes.

After your initial purchase of a bicycle, helmet and a few other accessories, cycling is a very inexpensive hobby that one can enjoy between the ages of 6 and 80. You dont have to pay extra each time you go out for a ride. Compare this to green fees each time you go golfing.

Dont skimp when buying your first bike. You might become frustrated with cycling and give it up, and that would truly be a loss.
