From a fitness perspective,there are a wide variety of bicycles in the market, but each has its own characteristics and different performance. Let's have a look at the general classification and characteristics of bicycles for your reference when choosing bicycles. The following classification and introduction are only based on personal preferences and experience, belong to the opinion of one person. I divided it according to the practical perspective of physical exercise, not according to strict professional categories.

What are the main types of bicycles?

Road racing bikes

This type of car is the most popular type of young people, naturally is the cycling circle is the most cool one!
Since it's a racing bike, it's definitely all about speed in terms of design, it's all about sprint. The special handlebars are designed to allow the body to lean forward in a more aerodynamic posture. The razor-thin wheels are designed to reduce road resistance, and the extremely narrow seat is designed to make it easier for the legs to exert power.The purpose of this aerodynamic riding position is to improve the speed parameters, which is very uncomfortable. Seat in the process of racing is almost dispensable, sitting for a little longer will feel very uncomfortable.

Mountain biking

Mountain bike is the most popular and most people choose the type, suitable for young people and the elderly, is widely accepted for bicycle fitness. This type of car can be used for ordinary city commuting, also can be used for fitness exercise, with a wide range of adaptability.Mountain bikes are capable of climbing all kinds of surfaces, including bumpy country dirt roads, racing on dedicated mountain tracks, and even doing extreme sports.The biggest advantage of a mountain bike is that it is hot and durable and can be ridden without pumping up. Mountain bike tires are thick, wear resistant and not easy to puncture, rough pattern can increase friction.Another feature is a longer body, a forward position that reduces wind resistance when riding, and a position that lifts the front wheel over obstacles when doing extreme sports.

More high-end mountain bikes have hydraulic shock absorbers on the front forks to reduce the discomfort caused by bumps, and higher-end models also have shock absorbers on the rear wheels or seat.The design features of mountain bikes also bring some disadvantages. For example, the forward posture is not conducive to long-distance riding, this posture cycling for a long time will be very tired arms, waist will be more tired. Seat narrow sit for along buttock (especially perineum) can be more painful, according to individual be fond of when necessary can be refit for relatively wide seat.

Road station wagon

This kind of road station wagon is my favorite, the picture is my imperial driving. Although I wouldn't be silly enough to go to Tibet by bike, I do like to ride long distances and this kind of car is perfect for long journeys. This model features performance between mountain bikes and road racing cars, with some ability to climb hills, but also suitable for ordinary road riding or walking on country roads.

The road wagon has the largest wheel size of any type,whith a 27.5' outside diameter compared to 26 inches on a typical mountain bike.Big wheels are good for riding faster with the same amount of energy, but not for urgent acceleration. Large wheels will be delayed due to high inertia. When encountering the uphill shift reaction is not as sensitive as the mountain bike, compared with the mountain bike should be in advance when the uphill force, the timing of the shift should have a certain amount of advance.

These two characteristics determine the advantages of this car is suitable for driving on relatively gentle roads. In addition, the riding posture of this type of vehicle is usually close to the city commuter car, which is one of the most comfortable posture. The advantage of the handlebars is that they allow the rider to instantly lean forward and switch to a more aerodynamic mode when facing a headwind, or even lean over the handlebars to rest the forearms. This model also has a very good baggage carrying capacity, front and rear are equipped with a load rack, its carrying capacity close to the traditional 28-8 - bar. In short, the car's various designs and configurations are designed to be more suitable for long-distance travel purposes, designed for road travel.

Urban commuter bike

This kind of bicycle is the traditional most common bicycle, or the old bicycle, including the now popular shared bicycle is also in this category. This type of bicycle is characterized by all aspects of the performance is very moderate, to put it bluntly is that all aspects of the performance is not characteristic, climbing ability is not good, sprint ability is not good. The only advantage of this type of bike is its modest and comfortable riding posture, so it is suitable for daily commuting on urban roads.Some people use shared bikes as a tool car for fitness and weight loss for convenience. Since the rise of bike-sharing, companies have put out the lowest cost, lowest cost bikes, and the riding experience can't be much better. If you choose this kind of bike for cycling fitness, you always feel less fun, less exciting, and it doesn't hurt to travel occasionally.

Shared bikes in various cities have been put into operation very steadily, so for users, it means that there is one more mode of transportation to choose from.Public bicycles and shared bicycles bring more convenient and environmentally friendly choices for citizens to travel and travel, which are favored by a wide range of citizens.But in the convenience of low-carbon travel at the same time, - some uncivilized behavior also appears: banned road arbitrary cycling, bicycles parked at will, storage.They intend to damage the body of the car and use the shared bike for private use. These uncivilized behaviors are not only harmful to public bikes and shared bikes, but also to urban culture.

There are special cycle racks in public places for people to park when they travel. Public bicycle has been regarded as one of the important ways to develop low-carbon transportation at home and abroad. It is also the development direction of future cities, which can play a positive role in environmental protection, convenient travel and ease traffic pressure. The parking and standard management of bicycles can be managed with the help of cycle rack for garage. The use of bicycle parking rack effectively solves the problem of bicycle parking order, but also makes a contribution to the city beautification construction, and makes a contribution to the creation of environmental protection society.
