What is a "road bike"?
A road bike is a type of bicycle designed for riding on smooth, paved roads. It is lightweight and built for speed, with thin tires that help reduce friction and allow for faster movement. Road bikes have a slim frame, low handlebars, and gears that make it easier to change speeds and ride on different types of terrain. They are commonly used for long-distance rides, racing, or fitness, as they are efficient for traveling quickly on roads and highways. The design of a road bike focuses on comfort and speed for the rider during extended rides.
