More than most sports, cycling comes with a high barrier to entry — the price point. But, luckily, a few conscientious brands are focused on building the best cheap bikes for adults. Decathlon is one such brand, and its 2022 lineup of specialized but cost-effective bikes and cycling apparel underscores its commitment to accessibility.
Decathlon’s latest release includes affordable yet high-performing bikes and kits for gravel, mountain, or road riding. It’s even spun out some women’s specific models. As a bonus, the company backs up all of its frames, stems, and handlebars with a lifetime warranty.
