Jamis Bikes: 25 years of quality

Founded over a quarter of a century ago, Jamis bikes have garnered four NORBA titles and five mountain biking bike of the year awards. This is an impressive feat for any company, but this one isn't letting success go to their head. They continue to strive for excellence and are committed to setting the standard for bicycles. The first bike introduced by this company was the Earth Cruiser in 1979 and they haven't shown any signs of slowing down.

This company produces full suspension, hardtails, a road series, street series, cruisers and also a youth series. No matter what kind of bike you need, you'll be able to find it at one of their various locations found all over the world. As when choosing any bike, you have to make sure that it fits properly and addresses any needs you may have. Obviously, a road bike is built to perform differently than a mountain bike. If you aren't sure exactly what you'll be doing, consider getting an all-purpose bike to start. This will get you well on your way.

Keep in mind that the cost of your bike won't be the only thing draining your bank account. As is the case when entering any new sport, there are a few accessories you definitely need to have. In the sport of cycling these accessories include a helmet, a pair of gloves, proper shoes and even cycling clothing. If you are just getting started, purchasing all of these items at once won't be a huge necessity. As long as you have chosen from the laundry list of bicycles out there and have a good helmet, you're ready to roll…or ride as the case may be!
