Cycling
At the moment, the market offers us several types of bicycles, it is divided into classes on the style of riding. An intelligent review of these types can be found here: The Club Velopiter.
Or see our Vidin this issue, which may not be complete. So:
“Image” bikes “
- Bicycles for show or demonstration of some special opportunities for its creator. Typically, large cover expensive and / or beautiful obveskoy has the most navorochennye devaysy (speed, coins, lamps, shock absorbers, etc.) and all hozyaestvo only for that would be respected in the near “velotusnyake, but isplzuetsya appointment only at 5-10%. The truth is there are exceptions. Or it had a unique layout, cool looks, novel solutions … There are a very original design! However, because of this, have orientation for skiing rather than driving long distances and small diameters of wheels for a trip is not suitable.
Bicycles for skiing entertainment
- These include a range of classes of bikes. This Trial, BMX, cross-country, etc. Such tales are ideal for short and not very veloprbezhek without cargo, recreational, or sports like BMX, purposes. They are just designed for entertainment, neobremenitelnoy drive, pokatushek. Or, for “business” trips to a neighboring village for “Baton kefir. As a rule, require a lot of attention, do not hold long loads (or did, or travel), wings and bagzhnik – extra heaviness, meshayushaya pleasure to ride.
However, transportation of cargo and comfort for the long drive is not their nature.
# There is another factor that strongly influences the mass application of such a bike – this is business. Subektvnoe vision of the issue set out below. About Krosskantri “particularly worth mentioning. In theory, a bike to ride cross-country, and he copes with this. If you want, it can be adapted for tutizma, but one must be aware of the fact that it would be “dybit” on a hill (center of gravity shifted to zadu), you need a whole heap of accessories – velopampers – that would not chafe, a helmet that would not split the head from falling down, gloves on corn. The problem lies in getting polusportivnoy – tilt the torso forward creating tension in the arm and back, and requires a narrow uncomfortable saddle. However, differs significantly greater maneuverability and ease of taking tyagunov and slides.
Urban / Travel
# – In the name of what you want. However, in this class are found and the model is quite strange … But bolshistve his body is strong, big wheels, wide range gears, and the possibility of additional equipment isplozovaniya. Suitable. This bike dalnoboyschik. This is what travel to distant mnogodnevki tourists. Ie unlike the previous type “long for that to go” this is “great, that would go” – soft comfortable seating, high (but not really, except in the mountain will be difficult), steering wheel, a wide range of transmission, polukrossovye tires, 28 “-wheels, strong trunks, fenders. pokatushek For such a large not very fit, less weight (heavy), size and maneuverability, but 100km. in the day with this great backpack nipochem. It is equally well chustvuet on the trail, and the complex forest, or even worse – razdolbanyh roads. He does not designed for jumping and acrobatics, his goal haul cargo and travel everywhere.
Roads
- These bikes have big wheels 28 “on razmkra and lightweight body. Have a soft and light the progress … on the highway.
And only. That is their specificity, smooth tread tires, and mehannika easier for the sake of ease. All this is reparable, but will require considerable reworking. In principle, this is true, ate nothing else there, and if you have a choice, that is, better solutions.
Choosing a clear urban / tourism as the main “highways” and “Krosskantri” – as a fallback option.
When choosing Orativ attention to the installation of the luggage, change the steering, and wheel diameter 28 “(or” 700 “, and the size of the classification and iportnoy” 622 “in Russian), a large gap rear forks and front wheel, as well as the ability to install the wings.
