HOW TO PICK THE RIGHT SIZED BIKE

A BIT ABOUT BIKE SIZES...

SIZE OF TIRE- All of our bikes 20”, 24”, and 26” tires, each paired with a frame that gradually increases in size as the tire sizes go up.

FRAME SIZE- You will see notations on frame size in our descriptions of each bikes. However, these aren’t as important, and unless you are extremely large or extremely small, you will achieve the best fit by focusing primarily on the tire size. If you fall into a very tall or very short range you might prefer a larger or smaller than typical frame size respectively and those are quick and easy to spot in our descriptions.

BIKE ADJUSTMENTS- For comfort bikes like beach bikes and hybrid mountain bikes, none of this should cause you too much worry. Think of all the times you’ve seen racks of bikes at the beach available for rent. Well, most are probably 26” bikes with a few 24” thrown in for more petite riders. The handlebars and seat height are both adjustable for individual rider comfort and can then accommodate a wide range of riders.

STRETCH BIKES- Stretch bikes will fit most riders unless under 4'4" in height.

SIZE GUIDELINES- Here are a few quick guidelines for selecting size. You pretty much can’t go wrong if you are in or near the range stated below.
