Riding a bicycle is a great way to explore a place. It enables us to cover greater distances than walking, and a fantastic work out as a sport.
This invention from the 19th century is still going from strength to strength, over the years many styles and innovations of bicycle technologies have been developed and forgotten. In this section we look at 4 types of road bicycles commonly found today and information that is useful to know.

Sometimes referred to as “racers”, are bikes that are built for speed over a long period. They are characterised with lower than normal riding position, drop handlebar, slim (20-25mm) slick tyres and (unlike most bikes) with two chainrings in high ratio. Due to the tyres, wheels width and bike frame design, they are suitable to use safely on paved roads only.

They are designed and built for one purpose – speed. Its riding position is even lower than road bikes and the rider is required to bend down on the bike when pedalling to minimise air resistance and create maximum aerodynamic. Since riding position is not comfortable, TT bikes are generally being used for shorter distance rides and races (10 – 40km).
