There are many different types of bikes that you can buy to ride either socially or professionally. You need to weigh up your needs and bank balance when buying a bike. I'd suggest you head to the discount store and buy a cheaper bike that is probably going to be a little bit heavier than one you may find in a bike shop.

One of the best ways to keep fit is by riding a bicycle. While bike riding can be either done alone or with family and friends, many bike-riding enthusiasts join bicycle clubs. Bicycle clubs go for regular bike rides on the weekends along their favourite bike trails enjoying the sunshine and keeping fit at the same time. You can join any number of bicycle clubs around Australia if you wish to have a more structured bike riding lifestyle.

If you're just starting out bike riding and wanting to keep fit and spend some time with the family, then you probably don't need (or want) to spend $1000 on a bike. If you are just a beginner, a discount store bike will be cheaper and will get you from A to B. However, be weary that discount bikes are cheaper for a reason. Many of them will have problems sooner, making adjustments will be more difficult, and its parts won't are not as reliable or as easy to replace as a good quality bike.

It might be fine to start with a cheap bicycle and see if you can keep up with a regular cycling routine. If you find that the bike ends up in the shed within a few weeks, then you will be happy you did not spend a lot of money. If however you see yourself riding regularly, you should carefully consider your options before purchase. Buying a $400 discount bike, then a $1000 quality bike will end up costing you more in the long run.

If at all possible, try and test ride your bike if you can. While that isn't always the case when buying a bicycle at a discount store, you should have little problem taking a test ride on a bike purchased at a bicycle shop. A bike shop usually has a bike available for testing, if not usually any bicycle on the rack is available to test ride. Bicycle shops are a competitive business so if you ask for a test ride you should be allowed to.

We ride bikes as a way of keeping fit. Now rather than just hop on the bike and go for a boring ride, many of us join bicycle clubs that can be found in any capital city or regional area of Australia. Bike clubs are a great way of meeting new friends and you can have a lot of fun doing so on one of the many bike tours you will go on with your new friends.

Joining a bicycle club will also see you save money buying bike riding gear and accessories. Most Australian bicycle clubs have special deals with bike shops to provide a bike riding kit for their group. You may find accessories can be expensive, purchasing things like a bike helmet, pump, spare tube, water bottle and cage and patch kit are all necessities when bike riding.

There are many different types of bicycle clubs in Australia. You can experience mountain biking, touring, road biking or BMX biking, even tandem cycling is available with your partner.

BMX bikes are always popular amongst small children who get to race against other kids their own age. This sport can be a bit expensive with the better your child's ability the more it will cost you buying lightweight bikes to give him the same opportunities for success that other kids have.

While BMX bikes will cost you money, you can save some money by riding your bike to work. You can actually save a great deal of money by commuting to work daily. Riding a bike to work means you don't have to pay for petrol and parking and you also save extra money by not needing to pay as often for maintenance on your motor vehicle with less wear and tear on the tyres and engine.

Remember that bike riding is a fun way to keep fit. Stay safe by wearing a helmet and enjoy your time on the road, track or trail.
