Picking the best bike for you
Before you purchase your bike, there are a few factors to think about to ensure you choose the correct bike that suits you and your lifestyle. We would recommend thinking about the below, this will help narrow down the selection of bikes best suited to you.
- What will the bike be used for, racing, commuting, or riding the trails.
- Know your budget: When it comes to the price of your bike it really is the more expensive bike equals the better quality.
- Your height and comfort preferences.
- If you would want to add accessories onto your bike, e.g. would you be looking to add a child seat on to the frame as some bikes are not designed to.
- What type of suspension you would need, this all depends on the trail you will be cycling on.
- Which type of frame you would like.
What Bike Would We Recommend for A Commuter?
If you are a commuter and looking for a bike that is best suited to your lifestyle, a Hybrid Bike is the one we would recommend. A hybrid Bike is made up of a mix of all the best features from a road bike and mountain bike. This style of bike provides a comfortable upright riding position, relaxed frame and flat handlebars.
The Ridgeback Motion Hybrid Bike is our best selling one across the Ridgeback brand. We have two styles of this particular bike the standard Motion Hybrid and Open Frame Hybrid (unisex).

With wide tyres, a comfort saddle with pressure relief channel and ergonomically shaped dual density grips, it is ready to tackle any terrain put in its path.
What Bike Would We Recommend For Park Trails?
Do you like adventuring through trails as well as enjoying the bike park, a Ridgeback Terrain is the best bike suited to this lifestyle. The terrain bikes also fall under the same category of mountain bikes. Here at Eurocycles, across both of our Dublin stores we offer the Ridgeback Terrain 1, Terrain 2 and Terrain 3.

Ridgeback Balance Bikes Dublin
A balance bike is the first bike that we would recommend introducing to your child. Once they can walk and has some stability, it is time to move them onto one. Our favourite balance bike is the Ridgeback Scoot XL Balance Bike.
