Whether it is a simple hybrid for commuting or an MTB for rough roads, the best bike is the one you actually ride. I will help you find your fit. ## Photos and videos - ![A common question I get is what bike to start with. This guide shows that you can begin your fitness journey on a hybrid, MTB, or even a city bike. The goal is to start moving, not to have the perfect gear.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/8a4ee87a-d900-431e-b105-fe6bc3de1865) ## About For Beginners: Getting Started Your biggest hurdle is not the bike model, it is the fit. Before you commit to a purchase or a long-term rental, ensure your seat height and frame size are correct for your height. Riding a bike that is even slightly off can cause knee pain or back strain, which is exactly how people end up quitting in the first week. We set you up with the correct frame size from day one so you can focus on the ride, not the discomfort. Many people in Mumbai think they need an expensive, high-end road bike to join the cycling community. That is a myth. For your first few months, a basic hybrid or mountain bike is more than enough to learn handling, build endurance, and get comfortable with Mumbai traffic. When you are just starting, you do not need the headache of maintenance, storage, or theft worries. That is why I started these rentals. You can pick up a reliable, professionally tuned hybrid or MTB from our Worli hub. We take care of the gear adjustments and the safety check. You just show up and pedal. If you are completely new, we also offer one-on-one sessions where I teach you the mechanics of safe riding. We tackle balance, braking, and confidence in traffic, so you do not have to figure it out on a busy road. Once you find your rhythm, then we can talk about upgrading to a specific style. For now, just get on the saddle and start your journey. ## About Velocrush I am the person behind Velocrush. 14 years ago, I was stuck, stressed, and looking for a way out, and cycling became my lifeline.
