Some bike dealers focus on sales of dirt bikes and related equipment, while others focus on family bikes and related cycling equipment. Still others sell all ranges of bicycles in all price brackets. Some even sell gently used bikes at a fraction of the original cost. Others offer repair and rental services. Go online to find out typical services offered by bicycle dealers, used vs. new bikes, and customer reviews. Whichever type of new or used bicycle you're interested in, such as quad bikes, stunt bikes, tandem bikes, freestyle bikes, recumbent bikes, road bikes, mountain bikes, or race bikes, consider your budget and style. Contact a few bike dealers to get hours, location, price range and related products, such as frames, helmet gear. Visit each bicycle shop to get a feel for professionalism and industry knowledge. Are staff members courteous and willing to help? Is the location clean and well maintained? Find out if the dealer has a website you can browse for additional information, and inquire whether the shop is part of a local, national or international entity or association. Do your research before you embark on your trek to make sure you're purchasing quality bike products for your money. Inquire about rental and repair rates as well. Ask about what the product line includes, such as freestyle bikes, mini dirt bikes, fitness bikes, electric bikes, mountain bikes, road bikes, industrial strength bikes, folding bikes, tricycles, giant unicycles, and cycling accessories such as pads, baskets, seats, tires, tubes and parts. Before choosing a bike dealer for your needs, consider company history, experience, service, price, hours, product quality, dealer reputation, and possible financing options.
