You're not alone. Get solutions to commonly asked questions about biking for beginners.
What is the best bike for beginners?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The best bike for beginners depends on factors like your height, where you’ll be riding, your confidence level, and your preferred frame style. That said, many new riders find step-through bikes especially approachable - the low or no top tube makes mounting and dismounting easy, and they’re comfortable for casual riding, everyday clothes, cargo, or riders with mobility concerns.
Take our 30-second Bike Finder Quiz to match with the best bike for your needs.
What size bike do I need?
A properly sized bike feels stable, comfortable, and way less intimidating.
Sizing is NOT universal across bike brands, or across bike models. Knowing your height helps, but your inseam is the most important measurement.
Be sure to check the recommended size chart for every bike model you're interested in.
