You must make sure you get a bike that is the appropriate size for you. To do this, you will need to measure your inseam. Your inseam is the amount of inches from the bottom of your foot, up the inside of your leg to your groin. You should ideally be able to place both feet on the ground when sitting in on your bike. This is for safety more than anything else, if your brakes should fail you will not be able to easily stop the bike otherwise.
Will you need more bells and whistles for your bike to function optimally? A basket will help if you are planning to carry items on your bike. Will you be travelling with a child? Needing a child seat attachment will alter which bikes you can choose from. Will you be towing anything behind you? You will have to get a bike that content can support the trailer's weight.
Children's bikes have altogether different things to consider. You want to choose a bike that has brakes that are easy to apply (like moving the pedals backward) as well as something that is nice and sturdy. You will definitely have to consider how the bike looks when shopping for a child and you will want to find a well priced bike because children grow so fast.
There are lots of things to think about when you are trying to find the right cycling bicycle to fit your needs.
