2. Introduction
If you are in the market for a new bike, there is a lot of
consideration required and it can usually take a fair bit of
reading before you know what you are after.
Road bikes are ideal for someone that wants to get into
cycling or for someone who wants to upgrade their current
bike.
Road bikes are designed to be lightweight, aerodynamic
and stiff which makes it easier for you to ride at great
speeds.
Much of the technology that is used complements this
perfectly and you will be able to maintain a constant fast
speed without expending too much energy.
If you remember these 3 things, you will be able to choose
your bike more easily;
• How much can you afford? It is not uncommon to see
road bikes being sold for 4 figures and upwards.
Before getting scared off from the price, decide what
your budget is first.
In the long run, this helps you choose because you can
narrow down the bikes that you can afford. Dont
forget that you may need to buy lights, safety gear
and riding clothes seperately. You can also make some
huge savings by buying online especially used road
bikes.
3. • What size frame do you need? You will feel cramped on
a small bike so be sure to buy the right size frame. It
only takes a few minutes to do this, yet it can
transform your experience of the bike. If in doubt,
refer to a road bike sizing chart.
• 3. Are spare parts readily accessible? Thanks to the
internet, you can almost always get the spare parts
that you are likely to need for any bike. However, it is
still worth having a quick look. Bike maintenance can
also be quite fun!
A decent racing bike can not only help you to get out and
about but it is also a great way to exercise and is
something the entire family can enjoy.
