How To Choose The Bike That's Right For You
There are many different types and styles of bicycles. You will need to decide on the type of biking you will be predominantly doing in order to help you narrow down your choices. Below are just some of the types of bicycles available on the market today.
Another type of bike which is a bit more rugged than the comfort bike is a trail bike or light duty mountain bike. These bikes can take a bit more rough stuff than the bikes mentioned above but are not meant for serious mountain biking.
Touring bicycles are for those who go long distances and faster than recreational bike riders. These bikes are built for riding on the pavement. They are light weight bikes with more shock absorbency than comfort bikes.
Cruiser bikes are heavier than the comfort bikes with fatter tires. They are good for the road, or riding in the sand.
A true mountain bike has a stronger frame and components than any other bike as they are intended for off road and rugged terrain. The tires on a mountain bike are knobby and wide for more shock support. The seat and handlebars are positioned to allow for the rider to lean over while maneuvering the bike.
Recumbent bicycles are becoming very popular with older riders and those who have some limits in physical ability. The rider reclines while pedaling in a feet forward position. The seat is much more comfortable than on any other bicycle. Recumbent bikes sit low to the ground and have multiple gears.
An electric bike will give you that extra boost and make make hills effortless. An electric bike will also save money as an alternate for of transportation.
Talk with family and friends who own bikes to get their opinion on what may be the best investment for you. If you don’t think that you’ll stick with bike riding long term and if you don’t plan to do more than weekend riding you don’t need to spend a fortune. Visit several bicycles shops and talk with the pro’s before making a decision. You can get many years of enjoyment if you choose the right bike for you.

| GOGO eBikes |
Going green
has never been so rewarding. Did you know Electric-vehicle production
just got another boost from Uncle Sam? The Senate Finance Committee has
approved a $2,500 tax incentive for electric bikes and electric
motorcycles. The goal of the bill, is to create and keep U.S. jobs by
encouraging growth of American manufacturers through consumer
incentives.
In addition to the IRS's latest tax incentive, if you using an
electric bike for your work commute at least three days a week you are
also eligible for an expense reimbursement of up to $20 per month
through your employer. The credit is intended to help offset some of the
costs of bike commuting, such as the purchase of a bike, bike lock,
helmet, parking pass, maintenance and even shower facilities. Employers
can choose to reimburse receipts, or offer monthly payments or
vouchers. If your employer doesn't offer it, find out when they plan to
implement it- it's law as of January 1, 2009. See Section 132(f)(5)(F)(iii) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Learn more through the League of American Bicyclists and the office of Congressman Earl Blumenauer.
In going green with an eBike or electric bike you are not only being
rewarded by the IRS and saving the planet by eliminating harmful toxins
and air pollutants. Traveling by electric bike is also fun way to get
around town and has its health benefits with a user-selectable mix of
battery and pedal power. In addition to the many great advantages to
going green, an eBike can reduce your operating costs significantly when
contrasted with current fuel prices. Many are staying close to home and
are seeking more cost effective means of transportation to local places
of interest. Electric Bikes also require very little maintenance and do
hold their resale value significantly
