How to Choose a Bike | REI Co-op

[@wendydavidson1589]

I don't bike much (I enjoy having my feet planted firmly on the ground), but Val is so enthusiastic and has so much expertise that she makes me want to get my bike back out and give it a ride!

[@anotheryoutuber_]

do it!

[@justinborak5003]

Awesome video and a great job Val!

[@VanessaAPaul]

Thanks! I didn't know that I needed a road cargo bike. Very useful your video! 🎉

[@SensatiousHiatus]

At 7:54 …did she change her watch and wristband from one hand to the other?

[@ruthjenkins9730]

Great information and well delivered!

[@shawnlegrady3108]

It would be cool to list the models, and even get into gears and wheel sizes. Overall great video for a complete newbie looking to get into riding.

[@billeley1368]

Nice job Val!

[@PeaceJohanna]

Love to see a badass lady rider throwing down some bike knowledge!

[@dindophiliphervias6499]

Thanks, explained clearly. 😊

[@kylorenthehusky2584]

I’d love to meet up with Val for a ride and picnic. Cool personality, knowledgeable and humorous.

Folding bikes can be taken on public transit!

Currently and in the immediate future, whatever bike you can buy is the one that is for you. At this point in the game if you didn’t order a bike back at the end of Winter/beginning of Spring then you are not riding this season. SRAM and Shimano are having major supply issues so parts are not available for completes. The used market is bananas, if you go used do NOT buy any mountain bike 5 years or older, geometry and part standards have changed so quickly that you will end up with something you cannot get parts for, I say this as a mechanic. Most bike shops may have a used inventory to keep sales afloat so you may be lucky but do not buy the first mountain bike you find on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. Also WEAR A HELMET!

Great comment ! Just got a DRT 1.2 today.

[@axelgranzini6797]

You called it dude

[@databricksneo]

can you make one for which brand :)

[@databricksneo]

thanks, i am more confused now lol, no really thanks this is amazing !

[@sarabear1238]

This bike was really easy to assemble kzbin.infoUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.

[@TheVolumeC]

What bike is that in the beginning

[@OrchestratedChicanery]

Don't know. 😐

[@CoderShare]

You only need 2 bikes right? A 29er Enduro race machine and a 26" dirt jumper. ;P

[@marekholub8668]

And a road bike for FTP training. That helps you to climb in enduro.

[@CoderShare]

@@marekholub8668 absolutely not. If you see me road training before the age of 55, shoot me in the head.

[@DarkFusa]

Yessir

[@VENIfromRUST]

Now I can choose a bike for the terrain, but how do I choose a bike for me? How should it fit?

[@rei]

Hi Veni. Great question! Below is an article outlining bike fit basics. It'll provide a good start. If you can, we'd recommend following this article up with a visit to our store for more personalized fit recommendations. bit.ly/3jaB7jZ

[@skyblue-lb9kr]

HYBRID bike is the gateway drug................yep.....................xxx

[@eddy2561]

Hybrids are slow compared to a decent road bike
