The bike snob's guide to cycling tribes - Interesting Read

Bearded messengers, fixed-gear freestylers, laid-back contraption captains … Eben Weiss, the razor-sharp blogger behind Bike Snob NYC, offers a merciless velo-taxonomy of two-wheeled clans

The world of cycling is like a big bowl of Lucky Charms cereal – it's full of goofy-looking figures in different colours and shapes, but they all come together to be delicious. Furthermore, different people partake in the world of cycling in different ways. Some like to pick out the marshmallows one at a time, others like the crunchy stuff and still others like to let the bowl sit there for an hour so they can eat the whole thing in one soggy mass. If you're new to cycling, you might find this bewildering array of people confusing and intimidating, and as such you might be reluctant to dig in. However, while any unfamiliar group of people seems aloof and inscrutable at first, you can rest assured that they're actually pretty easy to figure out. Here are some of the more recognisable characters you'll find floating in the milk of cycling...

Giant Bike Size Guide

The following Guide is sourced from: http://www.cyclestore.co.uk/contentPages.asp?pageID=61

Giant Bike Size Guide

Sizing Guide for Giant Bikes.

General Guidance.

It is possible to ascertain a close approximation of the correct bike size required using the simple calculation below. However, please be aware of height, for example someone who is 6ft with a 30” inside leg versus someone who is 5ft with a 30” inside leg may need a larger frame because their body would be longer. The bigger the frame size, the longer the top tube.

The calculation that can be used to estimate your required frame size are below:

(N.B. All these measurements are a guide and Giant recommends that to get a proper idea of correct size it is best to physically sit on a bike at a local Giant dealer).

Take the inside leg measurement to the floor. Subtract 3” for mountain bikes, or 1” for road bikes, then subtract 10” which is the average distance from the bottom bracket to the ground. This will then give the approximate frame size that will be needed.

Contained in the following tables are further guides for sizing on different Giant models:
