A bicycle can be considered the first technical vehicle invented by man. This is the most democratic and healthy form of transport. Cycling in the countryside, even only on weekends, will help level the effects of daily stress, strengthen the heart, support vascular tone, give an emotional charge for the whole week.
In many cities of Asian countries, the bicycle has become the most popular vehicle, because it is not afraid of any fuel crises, simple types of bicycles are popular here. In Europe, they prefer more “cool” models. The bicycle is no longer so much a means of transportation as an indicator of the style and well-being of the owner.
Using the latest technological developments and materials, the modern bicycle industry offers types of bicycles that can satisfy the wishes of all categories of consumers. The main types today are: road, racing, mountain, special, tourist, mountain-tourist and trial.
For lovers of leisurely walks in the park and forest, simple mass models of road bikes are suitable. They are not so expensive, comfortable in short trips on roads and rough terrain, not demanding care. In this niche, manufacturers also provided for tricycle models for the elderly or people with impaired vestibular apparatus.
For young and active, they produce various sports bikes. If earlier only bicycles were produced for track and road racing, now new modern types of cycling and the corresponding types of bicycles have appeared.
For example, a mountain bike, the younger brother of a classic road bike, was born in America in California. From the name it is clear that its design was developed taking into account the specifics of movement in the mountains, the possibility of easy "climbing" on steep slopes. The emphasis was on its stability, and not on speed qualities. These types of bicycles are designed for safe, steady riding in the mountains, so they are not suitable for lovers of speed and whistling wind in your ears, although everything is compensated on the descent.
The enthusiasm of teenagers for cycling stunts led to the creation of special BMX bicycles. Compact models with strong wheels are easy to carry in a car, they are unpretentious in maintenance, easy to repair, maneuverable. They lack speed and hand brakes.
Trial bicycles are another type preferred by extremals. Designed for competitions to overcome a variety of artificially created imagination organizers of obstacles: from fallen trees, boulders to inverted cars, etc. The main difference is the lack of a saddle. So for fans just to ride, obviously not suitable. Tires for bicycles for studding make studded. Thanks to the use of modern alloys, a bicycle is very light.
For fans of flying like a bird, there are special jumping types of bicycles from ski jumps - derts with a rigid reinforced frame.
All models are good - choose to taste!
