The Blue Bicycle Ebook

Find The Blue Bicycle Ebook 3 at Amazon

Well, this is surely a controversial, elaborated and perpetually evolving topic. There are so galore bicycle manufacturers, bicycle types and usual brand names sold in the US, that it may be difficult to find a comprehensive summary and to sort it all out.

The top 20 most popular bike brand listing that I’ve compiled here is not based on the number of bikes sold alone or on the quality or sensed quality of the bicycles. Most of the bike makers listed here also trade dissimilar bike types (road, mountain, hybrid, etc.) and the list underneath is not broken down by bike type or category.

This listing is intended to be a guide as to what bike brands are presently the most standard in the USA, at the time of this writing (since bike brands come and go and the sales of respective bike types rise and fall).

Some of the usual bike brands listed here may only be purchased at distinguishing trait bike shops or independent dealers. Although this retail technique makes these brands harder to find, in a heap of cases this it improves the sensed quality of the bikes over brands that are propagated to the mass market or that may be effortlessly found at sporting goods stores or even online.

I have included the bike types or bike categories that each manufacturer sells under the brand names listed. The bike type descriptions were, in most cases, taken directly from each bike makers website in order to not only let you recognise what kind of bikes they make but also how the company comprehends the bike types that they make and how they market them to you.
