I still remember getting my first bicycle. I didn’t know much — just that I wanted something fast and easy to ride. Once I started riding, I was hooked. It felt smooth, light, and just fun. But finding the right bike wasn’t easy. There were too many choices, and most of the advice I found online made things more confusing than helpful. What I quickly learned is that most of the info out there either overcomplicates things or tries to sell you stuff you don’t need.
