Discounted Bikes on The Net

The bike world has been changing quite a bit in the past few years. In the past, bike shop owners thought that everyone who bought a bike wanted to end up as a “bike enthusiast”. However, not everyone wants to end up spending near, or over $1,000.00 for their bike. What ever happened to buying a bike to get from point A to point B with some fun in between? Who said a bike has to break the bank? Especially when one can find excellent xmas sales which offer discounted beach cruiser bikes and others.

Thanks to the Internet and e-commerce, consumers can now purchase bicycles that many bike shops have refused to carry. These discounted bikes can be found from barely over $100 to several hundred dollars – still far lower than the prices that many brick and mortar bike shops are selling at.

The good news is that this puts many riders on a bike who may otherwise not be riding. Manufacturer’s are also taking note and are designing quality discounted road bikes and other styles to meet the growing demand for bikes in this price range. Other popular models, especially with the sky-rocketing gas prices include comfort bikes and beach cruisers. These are easy to ride bikes that give the rider an upright position and take a lot of strain off the arms and shoulders.

As the technology has gotten better, the bicycle components have increased in performance. This has translated into cheaper priced bikes having the technology of high-end bikes from not too long ago. It used to be that you had to pay over $1000.00 to get a road bike with an aluminum frame. Not anymore! Now, it will cost under $200 to get one. And it will even have Shimano Gears on it -- and everyone knows Shimano means quality.

Discounted and affordable does not mean you are going to lose quality. The bikes that are being made carry manufacturer’s warranties and may even be made in the same factories as the far more expensive bikes.

So, if you want to ride a bike and don't want to spend a fortune, don't worry, there are some excellent bike sales and great selection available all over the web.
