This video is a tutorial for beginner cyclists looking to buy a first road bike, mountain bike, commuter bike or gravel bike, covering aspects such as bicycle fitting, frame sizing, component choices for gearing, and why a gravel bike is useful. It was filmed in and around Girona, Catalunya, Spain; a cycling mecca that has been home to many professional cyclists including Ben O'Connor, Jack Haig, Esteban Chaves, and at one point George Hincappie and Lance Armstrong. Girona is used for training for races such as the Tour de France, Volta Catalunya, Vuelta Espana, Giro d'Italia and more. Teams such as Bora-Hansgrohe, INEOS-Grenadiers, Israel-Premier Tech Pro Cycling, Human Powered Health, Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team, UAE Team Emirates and others use Girona for team training camps and rider testing. The bikes ridden in this video include the BMC Teammachine SLR01 road bike, BMC Kaius gravel bike, BMC Fourstroke LT mountain bike, and Triban RC120 from Decathlon.
