Choosing the right bike
Insights and resources for the Department of Transport
More and more people are reaping the rewards of riding a bike, but how do you choose the right bike for you?
There are many bikes out there to choose from and it can sometimes be hard to know where to start. A good approach is to think about the types of journeys you want to take on your bike, then select one that’s going to suit you best.
For example, the bike you’d use for a short riding trip to the local shops to pick up the essentials would be different to a bike suitable for a longer ride as part of your daily commute or exercise.
There are plenty of bike options suited to all lifestyles. Check out the Your Move resources page for handy guides to help you get moving.
