Tailor Made Bikes - Versatility Of Design Offers Greater Choice
Well it’s the age of tailor made diets, exercise regimes, educational software, and now, tailor made bikes! With adjustable ‘riser’ handlebars and adjustable head stems, hybrid and comfort bikes take riding to a new level of comfort. Say goodbye to head and neck pain, or lumbering over the handlebars. Indeed, the latest models of ‘comfort and hybrid’ bikes tailor themselves to your individual proportions.‘comfort and hybrid’ bikes tailor themselves to your individual proportionsThat’s right, all of your proportions. Hybrid bikes even offer specialised male and female seats, so that you don’t have to tolerate the discomfort of an inappropriately shaped seat. If you’re asking yourself what lies behind your specially gendered seat, the answer is nothing less than a shock absorbing suspension seat post. Suddenly, off road riding looks a lot more appealing. Comfort and hybrid bikes can also come complete with no less than 21 gears, sometimes up to 27 giving you a better pedal to cycling ratio that enables you to choose a gear more suited to your terrain and level of fitness.. customers who had been with us for years couldn’t believe the weight factor“From a bike seller’s perspective, the job is easy,” says Ken Frank of Ivanhoe Cycles. “These bikes sell themselves. Customers enter the store, and as soon as they’ve had a trial and feel the difference, the bike is more or less sold. It is sheer delight for the both of us when a customer realises they can have the power of a mountain bike with the option to sit upright and comfortable.” Comfort and hybrid bikes have also become increasingly popular because of their lightweight frames. “When we first started selling bikes with aluminium frames, some of the customers who had been with us for years couldn’t believe the weight factor. A full sized, men’s mountain bike suddenly becomes something that the kids can manoeuvre. Comfort and hybrid bikes also tend to be low maintenance, making them an ideal choice for children”.This information was brought to you by the guys
