Each year, Cycle World’s editors lock themselves in a room with a white board and 10 empty spaces. While the specific categories have varied over time to reflect changes in the market, the goal remains the same: choose the “Ten Best Bikes” of the current model year.
The editors enter that room with months of manufacturer press introductions, road tests, and comparisons under their collective belts. Conversations can get quite heated and no one ever really gets his or her way, but that’s the story of life.
We want to get your opinions, as well. Before we unveil our choices for the Ten Best Bikes of 2017, we ask you to join in the fun (and frustration) of picking one bike in each of the 10 different categories so we can also crown people’s choices.
Make your selections below and, in a month, see if your choices line up with ours and those of your peers. After you vote, enter to win the grand prize of one $250 Amazon gift card or a second prize of one $50 Amazon gift card. That’s a win-win situation for everyone.
