"Hi. I'm Mark. I'm here with Expert Village at the Competitive Edge Cyclery here in Upland to explain how to buy a quality bike from a bike shop. First thing a person should know is they need to decide on the style of riding that they're going to be doing. It could be mountain bike riding. It could be road bike riding. It could be cruising on the beach or just around the neighborhood. Mountain biking is very easy to do. The mountain bikes have multiple gears, anywhere from 21 to 27 speeds. Very easy to go up hills, ride the roads. Just a good all around bike. The beauty of mountain biking is you can get out away from the city and town and go up into the hills and be one with nature. You see all kinds of amazing animals and plants and different scenery and it's a great escape."
