Important notes

Cycling gear, not medicine: Products here are cycling equipment (trainers, computers, helmets, lights, shoes, pumps, complete bikes). We do not make medical claims, concussion-cure promises, or therapy recommendations. Helmets are protective gear facts, not medical devices.

Entry bikes: Amazon complete bikes are entry-level. Expect manufacturer assembly steps and a shop safety check / tune after setup. Size and fit bands are approximate — confirm frame size on the product page.

Trainers: Confirm whether a cassette is included (e.g. Suito vs Suito-T; CORE vs CORE 2). Do not confuse generations.
