Beach Bicycles - Color And Style Guide

Posted by mariodesoza on Jul 29, 2010

If you?re a woman, one of the first things you want is a beach bicycle that looks just as good (or better) than it rides. After all, you want to fan the flames while you ride up to the beach or visit the neighborhood shops, don?t you?

One of the first things you might want to decide is the style of the frame. Generally, beach bicycles allow the rider to sit up straight, thus easing pressure from the back and offering a comfortable ride.

The right size of the bicycle matters a lot, not just for looks but also for riding comfort and safety. So, when you are ready to get yourself a beach bicycle, make sure that you know the right size for your stature.

Before buying beach bicycles, prospective riders need to assess how they will be using the bike. They also have to consider some aspects about the place they stay. In general, most women should be comfortable with three gears. If you intend to use your bike on hilly terrain, you simply cannot do without multiple gears. However, if you intend to ride on the sand, if you?re super fit or want to use your bike strictly for pleasure, you can get away with a single speed bike.

When it comes to choosing the right colors for beach bicycles, the most intelligent thing to do is to select a color that you like or looks good on you. Pink is a commonly used color for women. So, although it is feminine, it is also overused and you may want to settle for a different color, if only to stand out. Black is a corporate color and looks very dignified. White is a highly individualistic color but may need more maintenance. Red and green are very attractive and highly original. You won?t find too many of these colors on the road. Green beach bicycles come in different shades ? lime green, forest green, mint green and so on. These colors look stunning when matched with accessories in the right shades. Blue is also a distinguishing color. It is safe yet fresh. Also, it is easy to match accessories with blue. Some women like to stand out with purple colored beach bicycles ? and why not? It is said that purple was Cleopatra?s favorite color! In fact, a survey showed that after pink, more women opted for purple colored bikes.


When buying beach bicycles, you may also want to add a few accessories like a skirt guard, an enclosed chain guard and fenders. These protect your clothes when you are on the bike.
