Bikes are complex vehicles, and professional bicycle retailers offer complete explanation of use of gears, brakes, and quick-release mechanisms, as well as reference to sources for further instruction and advice on places to ride.

This is very important in helping you select a bicycle that will fit you, feel good to you, and meet your expectations.
