What is the Right Kind of Bike for Me?
There are four main types of bike for you to choose from. Your selection will depend on why you’re buying the bike
.
Road Bikes are designed for riding on paved streets and for going fast. Like racing bikes you see on Tour de France, they have skinny tires, a lightweight frame and a riding position that puts you bent over the handlebars.
Choose this bike if you want to travel long distances or cycling fast.
Mountain Bikes have wide tires, usually with knobbly treads and a stout frame, they’re designed to handle rugged trails without breaking up. You sit in a more upright position with straight handlebars, instead of being hunched over as you are on a road bike.
Mountain bikes don’t go as fast as road bike
s, but they’re more comfortable to ride and you can go off road on them.
Hybrid Bikes are a compromise between Road and Mountain bikes. With skinnier, smoother tires, they can go faster than mountain bike
s, yet feature the same upright seat and handlebar position. They offer the best features of both if most of your riding will be shorter trips on pavement.
Hybrids are best for city riding, and offer speed, durability and comfort.
