What brand bikes are good for beginners? Also I have a Standard Mongoose Rebel and was wondering if should I get a different Bmx bike or keep my current bike or get a new one?


Answer
Lighter, the mongoose rebel isn't a BMX bike, it's a mountain bike for kids. A good BMX bike for beginners is the Sunday Funday Aaron Ross AM (AM standing for amateur). You can get it in Black or Purple

I would like to start bike riding to shed some baby weight what are the best bike trailer/bike combos?




Yeah Momma


i need a bike and want to buy a bike trailer, what type of bike should be used?


Answer
- how much do you want to/can you spend?
- what kind of trailer - cargo or kid?
- how long and where do you want to ride (urban/country, flat/hilly/mountainous)?
- commuting or sports/training?
- what's your weight - and do you do any kind of sports?
- are you fixed on a bike/trailer combo, or would a (two or three wheeled) bakfiets be a practical alternative?

Unless you want to lay down at least 4k$/â¬, there's no sense in talking about 'best'. You can start thinking about 'good' (enough for everyday use) with 2k$/⬠and either the willingness to learn basic maintenance or a friendly LBS within reach.

As a short guide to what I'd consider best (I'll just throw in a few buzzwords, use google or come back here if you want to know more):
- steel frame, touring geometry, Rohloff dropouts
- Rohloff internal geared rear hub
- SON front hub generator
- Edelux front bike light, b&m rear light
- Magura hydraulic disc brakes
- disc brake rims, Schwalbe Marathon Supreme tires in 26x2.00, DD stainless spokes
- Brooks leather saddle
- closed chain box, e.g. Hebie Chainglider

That'll cut down the yearly maintenance to the gear oil change and regular inspection (and occasional exchange) of brake pads and chain.

- Weber hitch
- brand trailer - for kids, Chariot or Croozer, for cargo, Roland or Carry Freedom
