Bike Size Charts

BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.

We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.

It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Bottom line

The Clipster is Seatylock’s wearable version of their robust Foldylock. A clip attaches the lock to your belt or waistline. It’s built tough and comes with three ‘automotive quality’ keys. The concept is great, but owners said the weight of the Clipster was enough to feel uncomfortable when riding, in addition to pulling down any clothing not firmly secured by a belt. It isn’t the longest option and won’t reach around a lamp post, according to owners. Frustratingly, a number of users said their bike frame was scratched by the Clipster. Compared to the competition, it’s more expensive. Available in black and black/red.

Foldylock Clipster Folding Bike Lock Award Winning Wearable Compact Bicycle Lock Review, Extremely

It’s heavy duty. You’re not going to be putting this in your back pocket though. It’s kind of heavy. I don’t think you’d be able to lock it to a street light or anything like that.

The Foldylock Clipster: Even Easier to Carry!

The time it takes to lock and unlock your bike is significantly reduced when you carry your lock clipped to your belt. A thick elastic band stops the bars moving about while you’re riding. What’s not to like?
