3 must have bikes

Bikes are a fantastic way to stay fit and keep active. For this reason we have decided to look at the three major types of bikes sold in the UK and recommend our favourites. First off, we look at the exercise bike.

DKN AM-3 Exercise Bike DKN AM-3 Exercise Bike: This is one of those fantastic bikes that proves you don't have to spend thousands of pounds for some top class kit. This bike is stylish in it's design with an aluminium frame and a great looking console. It has the look of some series gear from a proper gym but it's not just the looks that match, it's fantastic in performance too. The main reasons why companies charge thousands for gym kit comes down to the exercise programs and we can confidently say that these match up to any high end equipment. It is available on special offer from the Sweetband website for only £299, that is a steal!

Revolution Continental: This is our favourite road bike on the marketplace for people interested in racing but not fully committed. The reason we say this comes down to the fact that these road bikes or 'racers' can go well into the thousands. If you plan on taking part in a few recreational races this is the perfect bike for you. Weighing only 11.18kg thanks to it's aluminium frame and forks makes the Revolution Continental fast enough to hit the tar at over 20mph. This is a perfect starter racer and can be found for only £459, check out Bike Radar for more information.

Kona Blast 2011 Mountain Bike: The Kona Blast is another perfect mid range bike this time for the off road enthusiast. They have used Superplastic formed tubing and smooth welds making a frame that's as goo as most of the higher end bikes. It's responsive, light and seriously tough thanks to the new shox added to the front forks. Like all top notch mountain bikes it comes with disc brakes so you can stop strong and quick. This amazing mountain bike is available for £524.99 from the Evans Cycles website, check it out!
