Road Bicycle
When Does a Bicycle Ride Become a Sport?
When bicycle riding becomes a competition, then it could already be considered a sport. And road bicycle racing is one of the most popular sports that make use of a bicycle. This type of bicycle sport is held on roads according to a particular area’s geography with the use of racing bicycles. This sport involves competing riders which will start their ride all the same time where the winner will be the first one to reach the finish line. This sport is quite demanding physically. Other variations of a road race are the individual and the team time trials.
Although the popularity of road racing is global, it is more especially so in Europe. Some of the most active European countries which hold yearly road bicycle racing are France, Belgium, Italy, UK, Luxembourg, Spain, Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands. The sport is also popular in USA, Australia and Russia. The types of riders that join the road bicycle racing are what are referred to as the climber, the All-rounder, the Time Trialist, the Sprinter and the Domestique.
There are also several types of road bicycle racing in terms of the number of days the race will be held. The first type is the “single-day raceâ€. With this race, the first person who will cross the finish line upon completion of all courses prescribed will be the winner. The race distance differs starting from only a few kilometers to as long as 200 kilometers. The courses may comprise 1 or more laps of a circuit, may run from place to place or both. Another type is the “single-day nocturnal races†which are done to bring in a much larger crowd. The next type of race is the “stage race†which consists of several stages (races) that will be ridden consecutively. With this type of race, the rider with the lowest cumulative time in completing all stages of the race will be the winner. There may also be other awards and classification as may be decided by the race coordinators such as individual stage winners, King of the Mountains winner, points classification winner, etc. Lastly, there is the type referred to as the “ultra marathonâ€. These are very long races but are only a single stage event. It usually takes several days to finish. The “Race Across America†or RAAM is the most famous ultra marathon there is. It is a 3000 miles coast to coast, single stage non-stop race usually taking a week to finish.
Joining these races is no easy task. Tactics should be employed to ensure high winning potential and the body should be well-prepared to be able to endure the race. It would be best to equip yourself with the ins and out of the race you intend to join in as well as prepare all the gears you may need. Most importantly, have the best performing bicycle to assist you in your race.

FixedGear Bicycle $66.91 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A fixedgear bicycle (or fixed wheel bicycle) is a bicycle that has no freewheel, meaning it cannot coast the pedals are always in motion when the bicycle is moving. The sprocket is screwed directly onto the hub. When the rear wheel turns, the pedals turn in the same direction. This allows a cyclist to stop without using a brake, by resisting the rotation of the cranks, and also to ride in reverse. Track cycling in a velodrome has always used fixedgear track bikes, but fixedgear bicycles are now used on the road, a trend generally seen as being led by bicycle messengers.

Racing Bicycle $65.33 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A racing bicycle, commonly known as a road bike, is a bicycle designed for road cycling according to the rules of the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI). The UCI rules were altered in 1934 to exclude recumbent bicycles. The most important things about a racing bicycle are its light weight and the aerodynamic efficiency and ergonomics of the riders position. To this effect racing bicycles may sacrifice comfort for speed. The drop handlebars are positioned lower than the saddle in order to put the rider in a more aerodynamic posture. The front and back wheels are close together so the bicycle has quick handling. The derailleur gear ratios are closelyspaced so that the rider can pedal at his or her optimum cadence. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F. Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 96 Publication Date: 2010/06/13 Language: English Dimensions: 5.98 x 9.01 x 0.22 inches |

Bicycle Safety $74.88 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Bicycle safety is the use of practices designed to reduce risk associated with cycling. Some of this subject matter is hotly debated: for example, the discussions as to whether bicycle helmets or cyclepaths really deliver improved safety. The merits of obeying the rules of the road including the use of bicycle lighting at night are less controversial. Author: Miller, Frederic P./ Vandome, Agnes F./ McBrewster, John Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 92 Publication Date: 2010/10/11 Language: English Dimensions: 6.00 x 9.02 x 0.22 inches |

Touring Bicycle $76.47 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A touring bicycle is a bicycle designed or modified to handle bicycle touring. To make the bikes sufficiently robust, comfortable and capable of carrying heavy loads, special features may include a long wheelbase (for ride comfort and to avoid pedaltoluggage conflicts), frame materials that prioritize flexibility over rigidity (for ride comfort), heavy duty wheels (for load capacity), and multiple mounting points (for luggage racks, fenders, and water bottles). Touring bicycle configurations are highly variable and may include road, sport/touring, trail, recumbent, or tandem configurations. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.

Bicycle Suspension $92.4 Bicycle suspension refers to the system or systems used to suspend the rider and all or part of the bicycle in order to protect them from the roughness of the terrain over which they travel. Bicycle suspensions are used primarily on mountain bikes, but are also common on hybrid bicycles, and can even be found on some road bicycles. Bicycle suspension can be implemented in a variety of ways: Suspension front fork, Suspension stem (although these have fallen out of favor), Suspension seatpost, Rear suspension, Suspension hub or any combination of the above. Bicycles with suspension front forks and rear suspensions are referred to as full suspension bikes. Additionally, suspension mechanisms can be incorporated in the seat or saddle, or the hubs. Besides providing obvious rider comfort, suspensions improve both safety and efficiency by keeping one or both wheels in contact with the ground and allowing the riders mass to move over the ground in a flatter trajectory.

Bicycle Gearing $92.4 A bicycle gear, or gear ratio, or speed refers to the rate at which the riders legs turn compared to the rate at which the wheels turn. Bicycle gearing refers to how the gear ratio is set or changed. On some bicycles, there is only one gear so the ratio is fixed. Most modern bicycles have multiple gears, so multiple gear ratios are possible. Different gears and ranges of gears are appropriate for different people and styles of cycling. Multispeed bicycles allow selection of the appropriate gear ratio for optimum efficiency or comfort, and to suit the circumstances, e.g. it may be comfortable to use one gear when cycling downhill, another when cycling on a flat road, and yet another when cycling uphill. The set of all possible gear ratios on a bicycle is known as the gear range. On a bicycle, power is usually transmitted from the riders legs to the rear wheel via the pedals and crankset, and then either a chain, belt, shaft, or rarely some other power transmission technology. A cyclists legs produce power optimally within a narrow pedalling speed range. Gearing is optimized to use this narrow range as best as possible.
