If you’re keen to enjoy your very own bicycle sometime in the near future, then why waste your time shopping around in store and paying their higher than average prices for something that you could find cheaper elsewhere?
And where is elsewhere, exactly? Online, of course!
We’ve decided to put together a few tips for buying bikes online for those of you that are interested in doing so. And even if you’re not, we have a feeling that you might change your mind soon enough.
Finding a cheap supplier
Plenty of bike sellers own websites and this can make them especially easy to find when using the internet.
Just a quick search for something like ‘bicycles for women in Melbourne’ should point you in the right direction.
Now we might be a little biased here, but we’re quite sure that you already know a thing or two about finding a cheap bike supplier.
So the next thing to do is start taking a look at models of interest!
Picking a style of bike
This is where things can get a little bit tricky.
If you know that you just want two wheels and a pair of working brakes, then you’ll be spoilt for choice.
If you’re keen to enjoy a bike that could suit your lifestyle perfectly however, then you might need to do a bit more research.
From mountain bikes that are great for off-road explorations, all the way through to tandem bikes, vintage bicycles and even hybrids that bring the world of racing and comfort together – your options will be almost endless.
Defining your budget
Okay, so you’ve found a great looking bike that ticks all of the right boxes, it’s in your favourite colour and the handlebars even look like your ears – but it’s a bit too expensive.
Try not to worry just yet - after all, you could find an alternative at a lower price or you could wait for the special festive sales that many of the most reputable bike suppliers are due to release any day now.
The thing to bear in mind is that your bike will be a type of vehicle, so you shouldn’t feel bad about spending a little extra on it.
As long as you get the use out of it, who cares if you pay a little more than you intended? The main thing is that it helps you in a way that your shoes or a car can’t!
