See if you do any of these:

• You buy a bike "because it looks good"

  • Sound familiar?

  • Nice design, nice color, good promotion - and the decision is made.

  • The problem: looks don't matter if the bike doesn't suit your riding style.

  • A bike for the city ≠ a bike for the forest

  • Road bike ≠ comfort on the path

  • Effect: after a few rides you stop using it

Wrong frame size

• • One of the biggest mistakes.

  • Too big = no control

  • Too small = discomfort and pain

  • It's not about "you can ride it" - it's about whether you want to ride it regularly.

You ignore where you will be driving

• • This should be the first question, not the last.

  • City → city/cross bike

  • Asphalt → road

  • Terrain → MTB

  • The most common mistake: MTB for riding on a bike path

you are overpaying for something you won't use

• • Better equipment ≠ better results

  • If you ride recreationally, you don't need top equipment

  • It's the fit that counts, not the price

You don't have a plan (biggest problem)

• • You are buying a bike

  • You go several times

  • …and that's it

  • The lack of a plan, system and motivation blocks regularity
