“This is literally the bike you already ride, one generation on. You called your Ripmo V2 the positive reference for a reason: DW-link suspension tuned to be lively on flow trails but composed on steep techy descents, and efficient enough for long alpine days in the saddle.”

Hi, I’m Nick. Choosebike is my research project: a way to learn what today’s AI technology can really do — and, at the same time, my answer to the question so many people kept asking me: which bike suits me best?

Independent — and free. For the sake of science and my own learning, you’re using AI on my dime! Choosebike is an inference engine that uses a deterministic master db of bikes, a reasoning engine (LLM), and an agentic search engine to ground the suggestions in reality.
