Please make the appraisals as uniform as possible, based on the guidelines below. IRS guidelines suggest a “market value”— however, there is NOT a large market for second-hand bicycles hence the values typically are quite low. The IRS suggests that valu- ations be in line with what a person would generally receive at a "rummage sale", "flea market", or "swap meet", i.e., linked to realistic fair market re-sale values.

  • Post Camp Riding Tips

    Post Camp Riding Tips

    Purchasing the Right Bike & Helmet Bike shops offer the best selection of our recommended bikes. A good quality bike is more likely to be ridden because it is more comfortable to ride, and less likely to be in disrepair. The task of selecting a bike can be challenging. Some basic design issues and ideas to consider are listed below. Choose a compact or low-slung frame. This is for ease in getting on and off the bike and may prevent injury in a fall. These bikes often have a lower seat and pedals positioned closer to the ground. They may be called a youth or junior style bike. Avoid competition, freestyle and mountain bikes. They are difficult to ride and not suitable for learning. The bottom bracket (where the pedal crank goes through the frame) is too high off the ground, the pedal cranks are too long and thus the pedals are generally too high off the ground at the top of the pedal stroke. Such designs are geared towards riding the bike while standing up rather than sitting on the seat. For standard 20” bikes, the pedal at it’s highest height should not be more than 17” from the ground. 20” bikes should have only one hand brake connected to the back wheel. A front wheel hand brake can be dangerous and may cause the rider to take a fall over the handlebars. 24” and 26” bikes may have either one or two hand brakes. For this size of bike we recommend single speed bikes in the beach cruiser style.
