What is a "time trial bicycle"?
A time trial bicycle is a special type of bike designed for racing against the clock, typically used in events where the rider races alone on a set course. These bikes are built to be as aerodynamic as possible, with a sleek frame and handlebars that allow the rider to lean forward in a more efficient position. Time trial bikes have thin tires, a light frame, and gear systems that help the rider maintain high speeds. The goal is to reduce air resistance and maximize efficiency, allowing the rider to complete the race in the shortest time possible.
Examples
The athlete adjusted the handlebars on his time trial bicycle.
Her time trial bicycle is lighter than her road bike.
