DealDash Looks At Bike Varieties

Riding a bike is something that’s fun, useful, and good for your body. There are different types of bikes for different activities. Read on to learn about them.

This might come as a surprise for you, but did you know that there are more than 30 types of bikes? These styles and varieties of bicycles are constantly changing in order to satisfy as many needs as possible. In this article, DealDash will take a look at the most common bikes and their uses.

City Bike

City bikes are the most widespread bikes in the world. They are made for urban use. These bikes offer a comfortable riding position and a simple design. Because of their city function, there are certain features that are necessary for this kind of bikes. These features are good illumination, a baggage rack on the back or a front basket for shopping. There are also some add-on features that aren’t necessary but very useful such as a bell, water bottle holder, and a cell phone holder.

Mountain Bike

Mountain bikes are meant to be used on rough roads or completely off-road. Their design is more compact because the bike needs to be handy and maneuverable in every condition. All mountain bikes will have a gear changer. This is unlike some city bikes, in order for the mountain bike to face even the most difficult hills. Mountain bikes, furthermore, can be divided into two categories. These categories are front suspended and full suspended. The difference in suspension lies in the type of the shock absorber that is needed.

Racing bike

A racing bike does what its name says- it races, fast. This is why it’s better for competitive use. The frame, made of carbon fibers, is lighter than the other types of bikes. The riding position is also very unbalanced towards the handlebars for faster movement. Thus, this is not a comfortable bike to just ride around on. 

Cycle tourism bike

A cycle tourism bike is intended to ride for long distances, often with a large quantity of bags. There are two types to choose from, depending on the ground you are traveling on. The first type is made for street routes. The second type is for rough roads and hill climbing. The difference between the two is the size of the wheels and the robustness of the frame. These bikes are not as common in the USA as they are in other countries.

Hybrid bike

A hybrid bike is the combination of a racing bike because it has the same frame, and a cycle tourism bike thanks to the more relaxed riding position.  Now, hybrid bikes are becoming more and more popular. 

Finally, if you’re in the market for a bike, then you’re in luck. DealDash has many different types and styles of bike up for auction. After reading this article you should have a much better idea of what type of bike you would like to win on DealDash.
