Bicycle:

Bicycle means two-wheeled vehicle. Bicycles are a beautiful and fantastic way to get to your destination quickly on busy roads these days. Not only will cycling get you to your destination faster, but regular cycling will also keep your body healthy. So if you want to lose body fat, get rid of breathing problems, and get off the bike today. But if you want to get off the bike, you cannot, and you must buy a bike first.

Budget:

Before buying a bike, decide what your budget is. This is because what kind of bike you can buy will depend on your budget. If your budget is high, then buy a good brand model, and if your budget is low, you have to save a lot of verification to buy the bike.

Single-gear or multi-gear:

Then you have to decide whether a multi-gear bike or a single-gear bike will be better for you. If your budget is between 5000–6000, buying a single gear bike would be good. Within this budget, you will find some perfect bicycles of Prince and Meghna brands. And if your budget is more than 6000, then you can buy a multi-gear bicycle. And the price of a good quality foreign brand multi-gear bicycle starts from Rs 10,000. If your budget is more than 10,000, you can buy bicycles from famous foreign brands like Phoenix, Raleigh, Hero, or Foxter.

Gear Movement:

When buying a bicycle, one of the things you need to pay attention to is the gear movement of the bicycle. That is, whether the bike can be easily shifted from one gear to another. If the gear movement of the bicycle is not smooth, then you should never buy that bicycle. On the other hand, gear controlling is good on both types of bicycles.

1) Control the gear by turning it by hand.

2) Gear is controlled by pressing a button.

Although the price of button gear is relatively high, it is comfortable.

Frame:

The next thing you need to keep in mind is the frame of the bicycle. There are usually three types of bicycle frames.

1) Iron frame: Iron frame is made of iron. Bicycles usually made of iron frames are pretty heavy.

2) Alloy frame: Such a frame is made of aluminum. Alloy framed bicycles are usually relatively light in weight.

3) Carbon frame: This frame is made of carbon fiber is the lightest in weight. This type of frame is used in racing bikes. However, bicycles made of this frame are very rare in Bangladesh, and the price is much higher.

The demand is much higher as the alloy framed bicycles are lighter in weight. Carrying alloy bicycles is also an advantage. You can easily climb up to the second or third floor with your shoulders. If your home is on the second floor or above, refrain from buying iron frame bicycles.

Suspension:

Refrain from buying dual suspension bikes.

Brake:

One of the most important things about a bicycle is the brakes. Is it a V brake or a disc brake? Note that the price of V brakes is relatively low. The effectiveness is also much less. And the price of disc brakes is a bit higher. This is because the effectiveness of disc brakes is much higher. If you want to do stunts, you must buy a bicycle with disc brakes.

Chain:

Before buying a bicycle, make sure that the chain of the bicycle is skidding when pedaling. Then, if you disk it, do not forget to buy that bike. If you buy, you will be deceived.
