Pedaling on the racing bike is fun, trains endurance and the muscles in the lower body and burns a lot of calories at the same time. So there are good reasons to   start cycling .

Compared to other sports, however, getting started is not that easy, because:  It doesn't work without  basic equipment and a sensible racing bike.

We have selected six models for beginners that are priced around 1,000 euros and still score points with good equipment features and driving characteristics.
