Types of Road Bikes
What kind of riding will you most do?
- Road racing -- Racing (Light, stiff, hairpin handling, high performance climbing)
- Long distance riding -- Touring (Comfortable, strong, tons of gears, built to carry equipment)
- Some long distance riding, some speed -- Sport (Between the racing and touring models: both comfort and performance)
- Marathon speed racing -- Triathlon (Aerodynamic, ride practically parallel to the ground)
- Off-road racing -- Cyclo-cross (Thicker tires, wide-angled frame, durable)
- Closed-circuit speed racing -- Track (Single speed, light, stiff, aggressive angles on frame)
