Bike Frames

Your bike's frame is a critical, yet often overlooked part of the bicycle.  Frames come in a few sizes - 20", 24", 26" and 27" - right?  Wrong.  If you buy a bicycle at a department store, the above statement is true.  However, if you visit a local bike shop and talk with a bike professional, you will find that one of the first things they do is "fit" you to a properly sized bike frame.

Everyone's body is different - overall body height and leg length are the two main factors in sizing a person to a bike.  If you happen to be riding a bike that's not "fitted" to your body, you may be experiencing some discomfort as a result!  Bottom line - You get what you pay for at K-Mart - Visit your local bike shop today!!!  :o)

Speaking of comfort, there are two other things that you can do to make your bike more comfortable - buy a recumbent bike, or invest in a good seat.
