Looking for a new ride? Sometimes the jargon can be a little intimidating. The good news is that you don’t have to be fluent in bike speak to decide which bike is best for your two-wheeled adventures.

The bike-buying process can be boiled down to five basic steps:

-Choose the right bike type based on your needs. The right bike for you will depend on where and how you plan to ride.

-Calculate how much you want to spend. Bikes within a given category and price range generally have similar types of components. But expect to pay more for higher-performance components or frame materials such as carbon.

- Make sure your bicycle fits you. Bikes come in a range of sizes, so start by finding the right frame size based on your height.

- Know Your Gears, Suspension, and Brake Type.

- Adjust the fit and go for a test ride.
