There's an incredible variety of bike types available these days. Each is made for a different rider type. If you feel unsure about which type of bike best suits your requirements, please consult Wiggle’s bike buying guide to learn more about the various types of bicycle and how to identify the right bike for YOU.
First, be realistic about what sort of riding you do or aspire to. Some bikes are aimed more at competitive rider types, some at casual riders, while some fall part way between speedy and casual. Many bikes have aspects of road and off road use incorporated.
To make choice easier we've divided the bike categories on our website so that you can read and absorb more information about the way the bike types differ. We've kept it as simple as possible because manufacturers use their own ways to describe different bike types. But bear in mind that there will always be bikes that fall between the categories.
