Trust us, buying a bicycle can be confusing, you might have already tried it out. You might even be unsure whether you will keep riding it or not. And if this is a worry, consider buying at the best single speed cycle under 10000 in India.
Which cycle is best for exercise?
There are two types of cycles, geared cycles and non geared cycles. According to us, both are best for exercise. What matters is the intensity and the terrain you will choose to ride on. If you are a beginner and are going to cycle at an easy intensity on flat roads, a non geared is suitable.
On the other hand, if the intensity is high, you will need more resistance which will be provided by geared cycles. That being said, you also need to know how to use the gears correctly.
Adding to that, knowing how to use gears correctly will help you save energy, ride further and climb better. This might seem difficult to most on a non geared cycle.
These single speed cycles in India are –
- Easy to Ride
- Require low maintenance
- Affordable
- Ideal for city riding and fitness

Quality:
When you are looking to buy a budget bicycle with a lot of features, you won’t get the best of quality. A bicycle providing gears, disc brakes along with the frame and other components under INR 10000 might seem to be a steal deal.
However, the components on these cycles are pretty low on quality and won’t give you the deserved performance.
Features:
Moreover, instead of getting a cycle with disc brakes, suspicion and gears, go for a single speed cycle that comes with V brakes. Thus, they work amazingly well in any type of weather and require low maintenance.
Why to avoid mechanical disc brakes when you are low on budget?
Firstly, Mechanical disc brakes are a trend right now. Moreover, the market demands cycles with affordable disc brakes and so you buy them. You always wanted one right? However, after a certain period of time, you realise they don’t work effectively.
Secondly, they make a loud squeaking noise and stopping is delayed.
However, on downhills, you have to use both the brakes to get good response. Thirdly, to fix this issue, you take it to a mechanic, he installed new brake pads or sands your brake pads which help for a ride or two.
After which, everything goes back to where it was.
So which cycle from the above Best Single Speed Cycle Under 10000 list is your favourite?
In conclusion, which bicycle do you think is the best when it comes to this list?
