EDIT: Thanks everyone for the help! I’ll probably be adding some more inexpensive ebikes that aren’t over $1000 because 90% of people won’t spend that mich in an ebike.
I’ll also need to make the note at the top a bit more clear that bikes are 100% down to preference, and to an extent, e-bikes as well. I’ll also try to mention WHY each of my picks are the “best” since a lot of them seem to come out of thin air. (some of it is wirecutter picks, some are just ones popular on various different forums. I’ll try to make it more clear).
Maybe I could add a link to the source of each of my picks (e.g. to wirecutter, certain forums), maybe even a list of different ones sort of like a linktree but worse looking made using html. (if it’s a combination of a lot of reviews and discussion threads)
original message:
For over a year, I’ve been working on a project called “bestof”, which is a product recommendation site detailing the “best” things in each and every category. I’ve recently included prices as well thanks to a suggestion from a comment. I’m also planning a high-contrast mode, because right now it’s all just green.
I would like some feedback, specifically on the bike section. Are my picks terrible (most probably are), and if so, what else do you suggest? Do you have any feedback on the site as a whole?
Thanks for your help!
Bicycles are immensely personal. It’s impossible to tell anyone what is the best bike is for them without an in-depth conversation. And then maybe. There is so much ink and industry astroturfing spilled in the effort to convince, cajole, inform, and advise.
That said, your points would be more convincing with some text about why you think these are the best bikes and accessories.
Yep I think I got a note at the top about how there’s no “best” bike and that it’s 100% based on preference. I might need to make that clearer though. For e-bikes, though, I definitely need to look at options that arent over 1000 or 2000!
I’ve mostly added e-bike recs since I’m treating them like electronic devices, looking at things like battery life and power. That being said, even e-bikes are probably like 90% preference maybe
Yeah, I do need to mention why I picked each option, that would be a good idea.
okay, I’ve changed the wording in the website to make it more clear that bicycles are 100% down to personal preference. I’ll go add the reasons why each one is my pick for the “best” soon, lots of people have suggested this and I think it’ll make bestof a bit more authentic!
