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.
