Race Road
All you need to know about road bikes
Road bicycles or road bikes are used to describe bicycles built for travelling on smooth paved roads. These are different to mountain bikes which are made for off-road and terrain racing. Road bikes are the oldest and most popular form of bikes and are built for easy riding, speed and endurance. These bikes are not meant for racing and do not require fast bursts of speeds, therefore they have more gear combinations and fewer hi-tech racing features.
There are several types of road bikes – however all these bikes have a few features in common. Their tires are narrow, smooth and high pressure which helps to decrease rolling resistance. In addition, these bikes are lightweight and made from light material and components. The bikes also mostly use multiple derailleur gears, although single speed and fixed gear varieties of road bikes also exist.
Different road bikes are designed based on their uses. Touring road bikes are designed for bicycles touring – these are comfortable, robust and capable of carrying heavy loads. Hybrid road bikes are created for a variety of utility and recreational purposes. They can be used on the pavement and also relatively smooth unpaved paths or trails. Utility road bikes are designed for utility cycling – such as shopping and running errands. Recumbent road bikes, like the hybrid road bikes, are designed for utility and recreational purposes. However these are characterised by the reclined riding position for the cyclist.
Before you buy a road bike, make sure that it is comfortable for you as you will spend many hours on it. Ideally, there should be 1 – 3 inches of space between the bike and your body when you straddle the bike with both feet on the ground. Try different types and select a road bike that is most comfortable for you. Make sure you buy your road bike from a reputable seller that has a proven record of successful customers. Try and test out as many bikes as possible until you find one that fits your riding style. A good quality road bike may be a bit costly, but is worth the money as you know you will be getting a good product that will be safe and will last for a long time. Be prepared to make a bit of an investment – you get what you pay for.
