40 years in the cycle business, owned and run Royston Cycles since 2009. Keen leisure cyclist , unfortunately running the shop and keeping everyone else on the road limits my leisure time.
My working life has always been around the cycle trade. Started part time back in the New Forest back in 1974 in a small cycle shop and moved up to Saffron Walden in 1976 where i started my first full time employment and still going.
Why shop at a locally owned business first.
SO SHOP SMART. SHOP LOCAL.
There are many types of bicycle available, each with a different purpose and range of features.
If you are new to cycling - or returning to the saddle - it can often be a bit daunting making the right choice from the growing number of options and price points on sale.
Royston Cycles is the best source of advice and information to assist you in making the right decision and of course nothing can substitute sitting on a bike and giving it a test ride to decide if its right for you before you buy.
Choosing the right size
Adult bike sizes are normally measured from the top of the seat tube (where the seat post fits into the frame) down to the centre of the bottom bracket axle (the axle which carries the pedal cranks).
With the correct frame size you should be able to sit on the saddle with your feet on tip-toes touching the ground on either side, and you must be able to reach the handlebars comfortably.
It is sometimes worth considering a smaller frame with the saddle raised slightly in order to obtain a more comfortable reach. The sizing chart below gives a guide to frame sizes against inside leg measurements.
The correct way to measure your inside leg is from your crotch to the floor making sure that your feet are flat on the ground.
You need to be sure what size bicycle you require before purchasing. Read our sizing guide and more details about the right bike.
