How to Buy a Schwinn Bicycle Online

Bikes have a number of uses. Whether you are purchasing one for fitness, as a hobby or as a mode of transportation, bikes are often very useful purchases. Buying a bike online, especially from a respected company like Schwinn, can help reduce costs. There are, however, a number of things to consider before purchasing a bike online.

Instructions

1. Determine the type of bike you would like to purchase. Schwinn offers a variety of bikes, including road bikes designed for performance, comfort bikes designed for long-distance riding, and mountain bikes designed for rough terrain. Determine what kind of bike best suits your needs before making a purchase.

2. Determine the correct size bike for you. You can do this by standing and placing the spine of a book between your legs, pushing up on it to create the same amount of pressure as a bike seat when in use. Then measure from the spine of the book to the floor and multiply by .65. This will give you the approximate bike size for you.

3. Find an online bike store that sells Schwinn bicycles, such as www.bikesdirect.com.

4. Find a bike that fits your needs and is in your size, then purchase it according to the directions on the site.

Tips & Warnings

• To help you decide what type of Schwinn you want, you may want to visit www.schwinnbike.com to see their entire product line. For mountain bikes, it is best to subtract two or three inches from your size measurement.
