Bike (pushbike) recommendation?

[greta3913]

Hi,

I am interested in getting a mountain/ pushbike and was wondering if anyone could recommend a good bike shop. Do you need to go to a specialist shop or are the bikes in Carrefour etc just as good?

Would be grateful for any tips, etc. Thanks very much in advance!

Don't choose carrefour if you are a serious biker. those neighbourhood bicycle shops are good enough as they provide servicing.

Would agree with the above poster. Use your neighbourhood mom & pop shop who sell made in Taiwan Bikes. These are inexpensive and therefore disposable when you leave. Of course if you are brand conscious or looking for high-end (read lightweight and brand equipped) you can go to places like Trek.

Should be able to answer any biking question you may have.
