Welcome to Best Bike Brands — a resource created by cyclists, for cyclists. Whether you’re just getting started or you’re a seasoned rider planning your next big upgrade, our mission is simple: help you make smarter choices about bikes and gear.
I’ve been immersed in the cycling world for over 30 years — running a local bike shop, building custom bikes, repairing everything from entry-level commuters to high-end carbon machines, and testing the latest e-bikes and components. Over that time, I’ve learned one truth: with so many bike brands out there, it can be hard to separate real quality from clever marketing.
That’s why I built Best Bike Brands. Here you’ll find:
- Unbiased reviews of major bike brands and models.
- Buyer’s guides that simplify the decision-making process.
- Tips & insights based on years of hands-on cycling experience.
Our goal is to make the world of bikes clearer and less overwhelming, so you can choose a brand or bike that fits your needs, your budget, and your riding style.
How We Stay Independent
To keep this site running, we use affiliate links and display ads. This means we may earn a commission if you buy through links on our site — but it never influences our recommendations. Every guide and review is built around value, durability, and performance — the things that matter most to real riders.
Why I Ride
Cycling has given me community, adventure, and countless miles of joy. Best Bike Brands is my way of giving back — helping other riders feel confident in their choices and excited about every ride.
Thanks for stopping by, and happy riding!
