Bikes are not only used for transportation, but for fitness too. Riding one helps promote cardiovascular health, increase muscle strength, and helps to improve stamina, mobility, and flexibility.
Plus, with the use of bikes, there is zero environmental pollution; and they take less space on public roads. A great advantage over automobiles if you ask me.
Durable, lightweight bikes are increasingly gaining acceptance in contemporary times. Check out these bikes to jumpstart your fitness journey too. Biking is the future.
Mongoose Dolomite Mens Fat Tire Mountain Bike
“Look I’m a very big guy! Have not been on a bike in almost 3 decades. I researched and researched what bike to get that would even come close to supporting me. There were several that were $2k-$4K. But based on reviews and price I got this bike and rode it the day I got it. It has already exceeded my expectations. I did upgrade the seat (cloud 9) and the pedals. I will more than likely upgrade the handle bars. But it took this 500lb behemoth of a guy up and down the block with ease. I will update as the wear and year takes place but I’m excited. Tires held up great. I was shocked at just how big they are. I read a lot of complaints about the weight of the bike but I could care less right now. It seems fine for what I need it for. Let the journey begin.” — Tre
SIRDAR S-900 27 Speed 27.5 inch Mountain Bike
“Bikes have been super hard to find locally so I was super happy to be able to get this so fast. Assembly was easy, make sure to tighten the front wheel a lot so it doesn’t flex too much. The little bit of adjusting the brakes is all to be expected as we weren’t buying a put together bike and it was nice that all the tools to work on the bike were included. They aren’t high quality but much better than I expected and they work great for little adjustments.
I’ve been having a blast riding it all around and learning how to wheelie again.” — Amazon Customer
Hiland Mountain Bike
“I LOVE it! This is a fantastic bike, especially for the price! The aluminum frame is light, durable, gear shifters are great, disc brakes work well, and it looks sharp. We haven’t gotten off road yet but I believe it will perform well. Very pleased with this purchase. Easy assembly. Comes with all the tools you need. Everything is explained in the owner’s manual. Highly recommend!!!” — Karen
Electric Mountain Bikes 27.5” Electric Bike
“Very nice mid level mountain bike for the price. Took it out to the trails including double black diamond terrain with some drop off wooden features and the bike performed well. I am upgrading the crankset and adding chain guides to prevent the chain from falling off in tougher terrain. The suspension is decent. The bike feels very well balanced. I am 5.8′ 170lbs. The welds seem very strong on the frame. Would definitely recommend this bike to someone getting into E-mountain biking. Good customer service as well!” — Joe
Royce Union RHT Mountain Bike
“Love this bike. Rode 150 miles now. Shifts great up and down hills. Only thing changed is more comfortable seat and UNO threadless stem riser. I’m 5’8″ so got 15″ frame and raised seat as high as possible so plenty of clearance and handlebars 2″ up and 2″ out. Back doesn’t hurt as much on longer rides.” — Jonny Rigger
Schwinn High Timber Mountain Bike
“I purchased this bike a little over six months ago and have put a handful of miles on it since then. It has held up quite well and is a solid bike given the price range. I am 6’2″ and the bike is on the tall side of a good fit. My roommate, who also uses the bike occasionally, is 6’1″ and it fits him about as well.”
“My only real complaint is the front tire was damaged during shipping and arrived mildly warped. The damage was not enough to warrant me returning the bike, but it will mean the tire and breaks will wear faster than usual and eventually need to be replaced.”
“Overall, the bike is precisely what I was looking for and has been a satisfying purchase.” — Amazon Customer
Gravity FSX 1.0 Dual Full Suspension Mountain Bike
“This yellow beauty came so fast, and even though shipping box was slightly damaged, bike was untouched. After unpacking it, assembly was pretty straightforward. Attached the steering bar (wheel), then front tire and pedals in less then 15 min. This is where it got tricky…brake pads were touching discs (rotors) at all times while rotating wheels so I had to spend good 40 min adjusting it. After everything was done I went on my first ride and goodness gracious, was I surprised. This mountain bike performed like a champ!!! I rode for 20 miles straight on some trails and the vineyard by my house. I am 160 lbs and there is nothing I would change on this bike besides front and rear tires. Also, if you are wondering, I am 6’00 feet tall and and I ordered 19inch frame – It feels absolutely perfect! The fact is you can’t buy better full suspension bike for the money 💰 it’s worth every penny in my opinion!” — Ivan
Schwinn Bonafide Men’s Mountain Bike
“Really nice looking bike. Very sharp paint job! Purchased for 14 year old son. Previously owned a less expensive Schwinn that lasted for about 1 1/2 years with daily use. This model is MUCH higher quality and should last for several years. Super light weight. Easy for my husband to assemble. Very pleased with this bike. Found an article online where it was listed as one of the top 5 mountain bikes under $500.” — Amazon Customer
ANCHEER Electric Bike Electric Mountain Bike
“Good solid product–no real negatives. Its heavy–but most E-Bikes are. The longest ride I’ve taken has been 20 miles, and the battery was down 2 bars, (about 50%). I used “pedal assist” all the way, and used medium boost. .” — Fred
Tony Hawk 20″ Jargon Freestyle BMX Bike
“I’ve been riding bikes for over 30 years and wanted to get a bigger size BMX bike again for myself. I have 2 mountain bikes too. I never rode a 24 inch BMX so I figured I’d give this one a shot since it was cheap. I used to be big into 20 inch BMX bikes so I wanted to get into BMX again. It rides great, quality is pretty decent too. Took it for the first ride today and it was pretty fun to ride. It’s a cool cruiser to ride around the neighborhood on. I also have 2 other bikes so this won’t be an everyday bike. Overall, this is a bike that was built pretty solid. I’ll probably upgrade the tires and leave everything else stock.” — Amazon Customer
