Choosing the Best Commuter Bike

by Eric Anderson

Anyone who is looking into buying a commuter bike should take a few different things into consideration. You'll be sitting on this thing for probably two hours a day (give or take), so it definitely is not a decision that should be taken lightly. In theory, any style of bike can be a commuter bike as long as you're taking it to and from work. However, this does not mean that any bike is right for any commute. Here are a few quick things that you may want to take into account when deciding which commuter bike is right for you.

First of all is terrain. How much time will you spend on pavement vs. off-road paths? How hilly is your commute? It's not a bad idea to scope out the quickest path from home to work, since this will have a huge bearing on which <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_commuting">commuter bike</a> you will choose. Multiple-gear bikes or bikes with multiple gears are better for hilly, off-road paths, while fixed-gear bikes work best on paved and flat paths.

You should also consider how skilled you are a biking, and how physically fit you are. People with less experience or who are more out of shape may want to consider a bike that has gears, rather than a fixed-gear bike.

Don't forget to consider how you'll be transporting all of your work stuff. You'll probably need a change of clothes, lunch, laptop computer, etc. A backpack might work, but if not you may have to consider some sort of attachment to your bike. Most styles of <a href="http://www.facebook.com/linusbike?ref=ts&fref=ts">bike</a> allow for an attachment, but this is definitely something you need to look into. Also, the added weight can have a big impact on your commute.

Now that you've taken into account all the major factors, you basically have three choices. A mountain bike offers multiple gears and allows you to easily navigate off-road terrain. A road bike is perfect for a more flat and paved ride, or even hills if you're more experienced and in good physical shape. There are also commuter-specific bikes. These are fixed-gear bikes with more relaxed positions. Other styles include touring bikes, comfort bikes and hybrid cyclo-cross bikes. Each style has its own pros and cons, and you should definitely research each one before you come to a decision.
