Choosing Your Bicycle

By Arthur Goldberry


A bicycle is a product that is used for many reasons and for different purposes by Americans. Mountain bikes, and those just used for rides in the park are not the only ones out there. There are bicycles for doing tricks, bicycles for doing jobs, and those for just enjoying a family outing. People have different uses for bicycles and some of these uses and bicycle types will be the subject in the following composition.

A mountain bike is for the sport-minded and outdoor types who want to go exploring. Compared to the road bike, it is larger and sturdier with 5 to 10 speed capabilities. It is made to withstand travel over rough terrain and mountain trails. It's versatility however allows it to be used in roads or for a ride around the park. When using fat tires, it can travel over snow and can as well take the pounding of rough surfaces.

There is also the three-wheeled tricycle that is ideal for children, but what is not known to many is that the tricycle has other uses. There is in fact an adult tri-cycle; they are normally just used for recreational activities such as tours. But in some professions, tri-cycles are used. The kids and the older people will find it a very convenient ride.

Another good bicycle is the hybrid type. The Hybrid is a cross between the mountain bicycle and road bicycle; they handle rough ground like the mountain bicycle, but are a very comfortable bicycle. It is actually an ideal bike to ride in long stretches. They are also known as the All-Terrain bicycles or the Comfort Bicycles, and this bicycle type can be ridden and handled by anybody.

Although the motorcycle is not exactly the thing you would think of if someone mentioned bicycle, it is the cousin of the bicycle. With a motor and a bulky build, the motorcycle is built for the road. A lot of people use the motorcycle as their main vehicle, and others form "biker" groups and ride around together. There are also small motorcycles made for children but they don't go as fast and are not intended for the road or long distances.

After reading this article, you should be able to see all the different types of bicycles out there. The bicycles that are the subject of this article are only a few among the many types used for a variety of reasons. Being now able to differentiate bicycles, you are in a better position to choose the type that will best suit your intended use.
