What type of bike to choose?

Road, MTB, BMX, e-bike, city bike, the trendy gravel bike, whatever your practice, you are part of the cycling world which brings together millions of practitioners across the globe and the community is still growing strong!
You want to join in on the fun but you don't know exactly what type of bike to choose or what to look for? Then you have to ask yourself the right questions to clearly identify your need. The first is the playground: are you going to ride mainly in the open country, in the mountains, on the road, in the city or a bit of everything?

Once the terrain is chosen, you'll find bikes adapted to each practice. You'll have to ask yourself: 'What is the profile of my excursions?' Flat or uneven terrain? Are you going to ride regularly? How far? What are your requirements in terms of comfort? Performance? Do you have to carry a load?
