Road bicycle
A road bicycle is a type of bike designed for efficient travel on paved surfaces. It features a lightweight frame, thin tires, and dropped handlebars to reduce air resistance and improve speed. These bikes are optimized for riding on roads and urban streets, making them ideal for commuting, fitness, and racing. They typically have close gear ratios for smooth, consistent pedaling and a streamlined position that enhances aerodynamics. Road bicycles prioritize speed and efficiency over comfort on rough terrain, offering a responsive and performance-oriented riding experience suited for on-road cycling activities.
