At 219 euros, the Decathlon Riverside 100 is the most basic model in the catalog of the sports retailer in France. How good is it?
The encouragement to abandon your car for short trips is worth applauding. However, we shouldn’t shift the pollution problem to other issues. Equipping France with millions of electric bikes is also not the right idea, and so-called “muscular” bikes—basically, bikes that require pedaling—are still popular. Notably because their prices are dropping rapidly.
Nowadays, you can find excellent new products for 200 euros… and even less second-hand. The Riverside 100 from Decathlon is one of them. Weighing barely 15 kilograms, equipped with a 6-speed derailleur (single chainring), and caliper brakes, it’s basic but effective.
Note: this bike is designed for casual rides and “chill” trips, not for mountain biking adventures. Its steel frame and spoked wheels are not built to handle rough terrain. With its large wheels and deeply treaded tires, balance and grip will be satisfactory—even on cobblestones.
It’s worth mentioning the lack of fenders, which, in rainy weather, will get your clothes dirty. Luckily, Decathlon offers an accessory for only 9 euros! Same for the center stand for 8 euros. The rear rack costs 20 euros. All in all, you can customize a nice little bike for exactly 250 euros… before any government incentives.
Christmas is coming soon—don’t forget to prepare your list for Santa in his red suit.
