Guides for Buyers
It’s a big decision to choose the right road bike for you. The rates and options available span a wide variety. They all have two wheels and drop bars in common. In addition, if you want to purchase a new road bike, there are many things to think about.
Here at Cycling Weekly, we have checked hundreds of road bikes, and here is our top tip for selecting and choosing the best road bikes at different prices. There is a ‘Buy Now’ or ‘Best Price’ link with each product. If you click on the button, the retailer can send us a small amount of money when you buy the item. This does not change the price you are paying.
What are you going to do on your road bike?
What you intend to do is make a crucial decision when choosing the right motorcycle for you. Do you want to go fast or race or do you want to ride more easily on a bike?
With your head and shoulders lower than the handlebars, a total race bike places you in a bent riding posture. It’s perfect for fast riding and reduces your front profile to lower your wind resistance, but it can be awkward particularly for beginners.
On the other hand, motorbikes marked as “endurance” or “sporty,” with bars higher and lower to the saddle, are built for a higher riding position. This makes longer trips more comfortable, but can make you a little slower.
