Road Bikes ARE Aerodynamic Perfection Road bikes make you want to scream WHEEE! Road bikes are bicycles designed for um, road use. These are the bikes that conjure up images of the classic drop handlbar ten speeds. Today's models have twelve, eighteen, and twenty-four speeds. They're great for people who want to burn fat and see half the town doing it. The way the rider's body slides right into them is also appealing. If we're talking about road bicycles, we've got to talk about racing bikes and touring bikes.  - Drop handlbars (those curved ones) - Large wheels w/ thin tires - Lightweight design (around twenty pounds but can go above 30 on tourers) What they won't do for you is take the shortcut through a construction zone ortear down that hill in your backyard (unless it's a mountain hybrid). Ifyou're someone who really wants comfort (sissy) or just needs a bike to get youaround town, this type probably isn't the right choice. My advice to you guys is to check out the mountain and cruiser pages of this site. They might fit your style a little better. Okay, back to our two stars. Click on their links below to learn more.

But you can give me credit for all the fun you'll have before hand!
