Bicycling is an energy-efficient and effective mode of transportation, preferably for short to moderate distances. Aside from the fact that it is a form of exercise, bicycling, unlike riding motor vehicles, doesn't emit any greenhouse gases that are harmful to earth's ozone layer.

Despite of its good environmental effects, many people are still afraid to try bicycling due to the vulnerability of bikers to road accidents. However, one should be informed that the risk of being in a bike-related accident can be minimised if your bicycle is maintained in good condition and if you wear the necessary safety equipment.

The following are the qualities that you should bear in mind when looking for a bike shop:

• Offer a wide range of products and stocks to cater to your all cycling needs: bikes, parts and accessories and safety gears
• Assemble customized bicycles that personally fit to the needs and wants of the purchaser
• Have skilled service crew that know the technicalities of bikes both used for commuting and racing
• Offer affordable prices and warranty for products and services
• Accept product return and replacement
• Willing to give refund whenever necessary
• Enable you to pay and order online
• Aside from cash and check modes of payment, a great bike shop also allows you to pay via credit card or direct bank deposit
• Provide shipping and delivery services to anywhere in Australia
• Offer customer membership for discounted services and products
• Provide additional information to customers like biking events, races and competitions
• Promote safe biking to its customers
