Are you in the market for a new bicycle this spring?
We spoke with Dave Vollbach, a salesperson and instructor at New York-based Bicycle Habitat, who shared his top picks for a range of cycling types, from city cyclists to mountain bikers.
For city riders looking for style
Vollbach picked the Global Roll 8 ($735), with a durable steel frame and "clean, simple look."
The bike is made from chromoly, a high carbon steel, and is great for commuters or casual city riders.
For city riders looking to get fit
Vollbach recommended Trek's 7.4 FX Disc ($770), a bike with a light aluminum frame that's made for speed.
For convenience-seekers
Check out bikes by Brompton ($1,193 - $2,254), which has been designing and manufacturing its bicycles in London since the 1980s.
Brompton's bikes are known for folding quickly and elegantly, making them easy for office storage. Plus they're comfortable, said Vollbach.
