Welcome to BestBikeBrands — built by cyclists, for cyclists.
Whether you’re choosing your first bike or upgrading your dream ride, our mission is simple: help you make smarter choices about bikes and gear.
I’ve spent over 30 years immersed in cycling — from running a local bike shop to building custom bikes, repairing everything from daily commuters to high-end carbon race machines, and testing the latest e-bikes and components. Through it all, one truth stands out: with so many brands out there, it’s tough to separate real quality from clever marketing.
That’s why I created BestBikeBrands. Here you’ll find:
• Unbiased reviews of major bike brands and models.
• Buyer’s guides that simplify decision-making.
• Real-world tips based on decades of hands-on experience.
How We Stay Independent
To keep the site running, we use affiliate links and display ads — but commissions never influence our recommendations. Every review focuses on 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. BestBikeBrands is my way of giving back — helping other riders feel confident in their choices and inspired for every ride.
