How to choose

Every cyclist who has experienced it has no doubt: the Rohloff Speedhub is a masterpiece of engineering!

Until now, we don't know of any bike transmissions that can compete with the performance of this German hub gear. Fast, intuitive and maintenance-free, it is the dream of every cyclist who ventures long distances.

Do you know the problems of hub gears that snap, gears that jump or that do not fit smoothly? You can leave it all behind with a Rohloff Speedhub 500/14!

So let's find out how it works and why it's so popular with cyclists all over the world.

You have decided to buy a trekking bike, but do you need some advice to choose the model that best suits you? Then you're in the right place!

This is undoubtedly a very versatile type of bike: it is suitable for off-road routes, but at the same time it offers the comfort necessary to face long distances.

It's no wonder that trekking bikes are among the most popular. To get what you are looking for from your bike, you have to choose it the right way, so here are some suggestions that might come in handy.

When it comes to choosing a bike there is always a lot of confusion and, very often, mtb and trekking are the alternatives.

But what is the difference between mtb and trekking? Many people think they are the same thing, but the truth is they are very different disciplines (and bikes).

Today we will clarify it once and for all, so as to eliminate any doubt for those who want to buy a bike and do not know which one to choose.

Buying a new bike is an important moment for every cyclist. If you have a passion for cycling in your veins, it's likely that you've felt it too.

This is not just about buying an object, but about choosing an adventure companion to enjoy moments of relaxation, adrenaline, fatigue and satisfaction.

Is it better to buy a bike online or instore? The answer to this question is... it depends! In both cases, there are pros and cons, so it's worth finding out what they are before you buy.

For a cyclist, each trip is a mystery and it is imperative to be well equipped at all times. The Vaude and Arkel cycling bags are among the most reliable ones and have that extra bit that the others cannot offer.

We decided to compare them under various aspects, from capacity to type, from the range available to the price.

Are you curious about who will win this challenge? Then let's get started right away! The winning bike bag could be the one that will accompany you on your next adventure!

Cyclists who travel long distances are well aware that it is something almost impossible to do without a bike rack. This is an indispensable accessory for those who want to be sure that they always carry everything they need.

In fact, the rack is also a valuable ally in the city, especially when the classic bike basket is not very large for loading.

In this guide we compare the various types of luggage racks and you will find out how to choose it and how to mount it.

You will eventually be able to find your way around the best one for you and you will be able to install it on your bike without any difficulty.

Cyclists who like to ride in the evening or early in the morning know it well: you can't do without bike lights. Dynamo or battery powered, which one to choose? This is the most important question to address!

The choice certainly depends on your riding habits and also on your thirst for competition.

Randonnée fans like the Paris Brest Paris have no doubt about the answer: dynamo bike lights!

Those who don't want performance, but just want the convenience of riding a bike even in the dark, certainly prefer battery-powered bike lights.

So let's see what the pros and cons of the two types of bike lights are. After all, the choice is not so obvious!

E-bikes are becoming more and more popular among cyclists. On the surface, it looks like a traditional bicycle, it's a quiet, unpretentious bike, but it hides a technological and efficient engine.

But how does an e-bike work? Some people think that riding this advanced bike requires no effort and that the engine does everything by itself.

Others still think that these are heavy and slow bikes, not suitable for those who aim to improve their performance.

What a mess! Let's try to make it a little bit clearer and understand how e-bikes work and what aspects we must evaluate in when choosing one.

Did you know that in some cities in northern Europe there are more bicycles than cars? Going to work or doing small tasks at a pedaling pace is a whole different story. How about leaving your car in the garage and enjoying every meter of the route?

If I have convinced you to prefer the bike to the car even in the city center, there is only one question to answer. Now that you have decided that you need a city bike, which one to choose?

Don't worry, I'll guide you through the selection of the perfect riding bike and explain the aspects you need to consider. You'll find that cycling on the city streets will have a beneficial effect on your wallet, your health and even your mood, so you can start the day off to the best of your ability!

The bike computer is one of the most loved technological devices. These small computers go far beyond simple bike mileometers and provide a great amount of data for the rider to improve performance or just to get information about the reached altitude.

Are you looking for the best cyclocomputer for racing bikes? Or are you just looking for good equipment to use when you’re cycling? Whatever your needs are, I have something for you!

I compared 3 different cyclocomputers, so you can evaluate the advantages and features of each one on your own. Choosing the one that suits you will be child's play!
