Things to Look at Before Buying a Bicycle

Budget

So, you have to decide exactly how much your budget is. Bicycles worth five thousand to one lakh rupees are available in the market. So, decide which bike to buy after determining your budget.
Brand
In Bangladesh, you will find many renowned brands of bicycles. When it comes to buying a bicycle, you should buy a bicycle from a reputed brand.
