Bikes Direct Review

Bikes Direct might just be the place to go...if you know exactly what you're looking for.  Personally, I would prefer to actually see, and test ride any bike before buying.

However, some of the prices are well below that of a real bike shop.  Plus, they offer free UPS shipping and no sales tax.  On the website, there are helpful links to sizing and another link to email them for any questions.

By simply clicking on a bike photo, it will open a new web page with a huge, full size photo.  Plus, you can get detailed close ups.

Bikes Direct offers road bikes, mountain bikes, comfort, cruiser & hybrid bikes.  Naturally, the more you pay, the better bike you'll get.  You can find a hybrid bike for as low as $269.95, complete with fenders, all the way up to a Titanium frame mountain bike pushing two grand.

I would suggest this site only for the knowledgeable cyclist who knows exactly what they are looking for.  Then there are those three dreaded words..."Some assembly required."  You will need a few simple tools and the knowledge to assemble your new ride.  If not, be prepared to take it to a bike shop for assembly.  But, that would wipe out any savings.

Based purely on their prices, I'll give Bikes Direct a thumbs up.  I say again...know what you are looking for!
