Where should I go to buy a bike to start training for a sprint triathlon?

Add comments

I basically want to get started into biking and don’t really want to spend a lot of money since it’s my first time really buying a good bike. Is there any where I should go?

i would definitely go for a local store that way you can actually see the types of bikes and overall get a better fit. if your serious about triathlon and done a few i would get a tri/ time-trial bike made for speed over short distances, but if your a beginner or newbie to triathlon i would stick to a traditional road bike because its easier to ride.

    Your local bike shop, they will make sure you get the right size frame and fit it to you. Not like a big box store.
