WHERE TO BUY A
BIKE
First, go to a bike shop to find out
what kind of bike might be good for you. Even though the
bikes there cost more than a discount store or toy store,
bike shops will be able to give you more information and
a better selection than a store that sells other things
besides bikes.
New bikes are expensive. If you can't
buy a new bike right now, maybe you can look at a garage
sale or in a newspaper ad. Maybe you'll get lucky and
find a great bike at a low cost. The most important thing
when you buy a bike is getting one that is the
right
size for you. You'll need to
buy a good helmet,
too.
