Mountain Bikes FAQs
Why do I not hear much about 10-speeds anymore?
Whereas you may have heard a lot about 10-speeds a few years ago, the fact of the matter is that these bikes are now called road bikes. They are not called 10-speeds anymore simply because they are so much more than 10-speeds. These bikes can now range anywhere from 12 to 21 speeds. So, the bikes are still around, but they have definitely advanced and evolved enough to warrant a new name. These bikes can be obtained at any bike shop, but are also popular bikes to buy online. However, it might be best to try out the settings before you buy.
Is getting a BMX bike for my son safe?
As far as safety goes, sure, getting one of these bikes for your son is safe. They are well-built durable bikes that do well in holing up when crashing. So the bike is safe. The real question is how safe will your son be when he is riding this bike. While BMX riding can be dangerous, there are some things that can be done to minimize the risk. One of the main things that can be done to minimize this risk is to sign up your son for a supervised BMX class. This way he will learn how to do things the right way. This should improve the safety level.
What kinds of features should I look for on a bike computer?
A bike computer should definitely have itunes and Youtube. Just kidding. A bike computer is best used when it does not have too many functions or features that could distract the rider. Features that measure how fast the bike is moving are always helpful. Likewise, if you can get a computer that will help keep you abreast of how many calories you are burning, this can be advantageous as well. There are definitely a number of other features available, but most people don’t used the most advanced features on these computers.
