ROAD BIKE
Do you like to
ride fast as lightning? Are you interested in
riding on streets and sidewalks but not rugged
trails? Then I have the perfect bike for you -
the Road Bike.
The main thing
the road bike built for is speed. The road bike
is similar to the bikes that race in the Tour de
France. Don't you want to be like a famous bike
rider in the tour de France? If you do, go out
and buy a road bike! It can be used for a race
or just riding around in the park. It is more of
a modern 10 speed and a lot safer. If you can't
afford to buy a Mountain bike or hybrids, go out
and buy a road bike. You'll be so happy with the
light weight frame, drop bars and all the other
things that you can get on the road bike.
Frame:
The frame is very light. It has a narrow seat.
The frame is usually aluminum, carbon or
titanium.
Gears:
To change gears you push a lever under the
brakes to change gears. That makes changing
gears really easy. Keep your gear at a lower
gear.
Tires:
The tires are so strong that they could hold a
bomb squad. The tires are less than an inch
wide. If it is a rainy day the road bike has
better traction than any other bike.
Brakes:
The road bike has caliper brakes. The brakes are
sensitive to small changes. The brakes don't
have a lot of braking power.
Pedals:
When you push the pedals you move the bike
forward. The pedals have a lot of grip in case
of rain or anything slippery.
Handle
bars: Most road bikes have drop bars.
The drop bars come in many different shapes. The
drop bar allows you to have many different
positions with your hands.
