Which cycle is best for exercise?

There are two types of cycles, geared cycles and non geared cycles. According to us, both are best for exercise. What matters is the intensity and the terrain you will choose to ride on. If you are a beginner and are going to cycle at an easy intensity on flat roads, a non geared is suitable.

On the other hand, if the intensity is high, you will need more resistance which will be provided by geared cycles. That being said, you also need to know how to use the gears correctly. Knowing how to use gears correctly will help you save energy, ride further and climb better. This might seem difficult to most on a non geared cycle.

That being said, here are things to keep in mind while buying Single speed bicycle India:-

Quality:

When you are looking to buy a budget bicycle with a lot of features, you won’t get the best of quality. A bicycle providing gears, disc brakes along with the frame and other components under INR 10000 might seem to be a steal deal.

However, the components on these cycles are pretty low on quality and won’t give you the deserved performance.

Features:

Instead of getting a cycle with disc brakes, suspicion and gears, go for a single speed cycle that comes with V brakes. The work amazingly well in any type of weather and require low maintenance.

Why to avoid mechanical disc brakes when you are low on budget?

Mechanical disc brakes are a trend right now. The market demands cycles with affordable disc brakes and so you buy them. You always wanted one right? But after a certain period of time, you realise they don’t work effectively.

Besides, they make a loud squeaking noise and stopping is delayed.

However, on downhills, you have to use both the brakes to get good response. And to fix this issue, you take it to a mechanic, he installed new brake pads or sands your brake pads which help for a ride or two.

After which, everything goes back to where it was.

So which cycle from the above Best Single Speed Cycle Under 10000 list is your favourite? You think there are much better single speed cycles in India within the same budget?
