Copyright (c) 2011 Joe Maldonado Giant road bikes are the most sought after brand of road bike in Australia, and they are among the biggest sellers, offering the complete Giant range. While there are many decent brands out there, Giant bikes dominates when it comes to value for money. The range commences with an aluminum framed road bike, with various levels of equipment and prices ranging from $899 to $1,499. Bicycles have evolved in their use throughout the years. From their early beginnings as a means of transportation, they are now widely used not just for simply getting from one point to another, but also as a recreational activity and a sport. With the bicycle's transition throughout the generations as well as the growth of its avid fans and users alike, it is no wonder then that a bicycle company would be best able to capture its evolution, and what bicycles that best represent this evolution are Giant road bikes. These bikes have been in the industry for three decades and counting. 1972 was the year, and Tachia, Taichung was the place. It started as a manufacturing company of bicycles meant to be marketed solely under different brand names like Schwinn and Nishiki as a private label. In 1986, the bikes' new president proposed the establishment of its own brand of bicycles in order for the company to be competitive in the $200 and above price range. And competitive it was. Giant road bikes have seen a full blown expansion, with its consistent presence across the globe. It is widely available around fifty countries, sold in over ten thousand retail outlets, and used by around thirty-two of the world's most renowned professional cyclists. Its devotion to the growth of the cycling culture allowed the bicycle to be part of the customers' lives in almost all parts of the world. In all of this, the Giant company struggled to manage from scratch - but it passed everything with flying colors. Through its widely known reputation in the cycling industry, Giant was able to come up with innovative and state-of-the-art designs fit for any lifestyle. Giant bikes currently categorize their bikes into seven groups - road, mountain, comfort, mode, indoor cycling, family cycling and specialty - all perfect for mere travel or competition. To date, this company is serious in their commitment to not only recreational and competitive cycling, but also to the whole cycling industry and the environment as a whole. The idea of helping to bring out new and much healthier lifestyles to customers makes the company extra proud of its accomplishments and the people working hard for it. A notable instance is that this company currently sponsors three international cycling teams as well as many national teams - a feat achieved by the brand single-handedly from way back. These bikes are currently manufactured in facilities in Taiwan, the Netherlands, and China. They have already sealed the deal with being the world's largest bicycle manufacturer. Now, through the constant pursuit of their vision, they are already prepared to be the called "The Best Bicycle Company in the World" - as there is not a feat too small or too big for a company that always believes in the capacity and openness of the customer like Giant road bikes.
