Every bicycle includes free shipping AND professional assembly through our Buy & Ride Program. Once your bike ships, you'll be riding within 14 business days.
Our number one priority is making your bicycle purchase as simple as possible- while also ensuring the bicycle you receive is up to our stringent quality requirements. That's why we ship every one of our bicycles to a hand-selected local bike shop for professional assembly. Once it's fully assembled and ready to ride, you simply head into the shop and roll out the door!
Our industry leading Buy & Ride program was the first of its kind. Through years of experience, and a large network of partner shops across the country, we've perfected the process.
There are several factors to consider when choosing your new bike, and we're here to help!
We highly recommend reading our Bike Buying Guide, along with watching the video. You'll want to consider your preferences on things like frame style and gearing range, and take into account how you'll be using your bike, and on what terrain.
We also recommend taking our Bike Finder Quiz which will point you in the right direction based upon your considerations.
And finally, it's important to note that bike sizing is not universal across brands, nor across models. Each bike has a unique geometry which means different sizing. Please consult the sizing guide recommendations.
If you have any questions or are between sizes, please contact us for personalized guidance and we'd happy to assist!

We understand that a bicycle is a big investment, and we want you to be 100% confident your choice.
Great question, and one we are asked often. The Willow 3 and Franklin 3 are the same in riding posture, frame geometry, and internally geared 3-speed hub, but think of the Willow 3 as the premium version of the Franklin 3. It has an upgraded saddle and grip set, cream tires, a rear carrier already installed on the bike, and a frame mde of double-butted Chromoly steel. The Willow 7 is a beast of its own and features an internally geared 7-speed rear hub, hydraulic disc brakes, and an aluminum frame. You can read more about the similarities and differences here.
Absolutely! Step-through models are well suited for carrying cargo because they're so easy to mount without having to throw your leg over a top tube. This makes mounting a rear child seat a breeze. NOTE: We always recommend using the rear carrier from the child seat manufacturer as it will have been tested for load capacity.
