Bicycles can be divided, depending on their purpose, into sports and non-sports. There are many more varieties of sports bicycles, so today many choose them for everyday riding as well.
Everyday bicycles
Road and city bikes can be added to this group. They are cheap and have practically no technical bells and whistles. They were endowed with switchable speeds not so long ago. Road bikes are rather bulky and heavy structures with low maneuverability. A long trip on these will tire rather than bring pleasure. But road bikes are reliable. If you are planning to get out to the suburban shop, there is no better bike. Local thieves will surely not get used to it.
City bicycles are a little more comfortable and functional, they are already more expensive. They are often foldable. There is no upper tube in the design, the saddle is wide and soft. There is a trunk, which is often accompanied by a basket. These bikes are equipped with speeds, but the gearshift mechanism is pretty simple. Landing on a city bike is almost vertical. The most important thing is not to set unbearable tasks for the city bike, then it will last a long time.
Sport bikes
Sports bicycles are track, road, mountain, touring, hybrid, downhill, stunt - BMX. Downhill bikes are designed for high speed downhill cross-country skiing. These are some of the heaviest bicycles available, featuring a heavy and sturdy frame, powerful brakes and a pair of shock absorbers. These bicycles are not intended for other purposes. Stunt bikes are also highly specialized, featuring a light frame, small wheel diameter and no saddle. They are for jumping, not riding.
Road bikes are essential for driving fast on smooth asphalt. Apart from smooth asphalt, they will not withstand any other surface. The frame of the road bike is light and durable, the wheels are large and the handlebars are reminiscent of ram's horns. This bike provides the development of maximum speed for a cycling marathon. A track bike is similar to a road bike, but it is designed to be used only on a track cycle. He has specially arranged wheels, often there are no brakes. The track bike is not suitable for normal use.
