Road bicyle - road bikes are ideal for people who want to travel at speed on paved or tarmaced roads. This includes those who might want to commute to work on their bike, or compete in road cycling competitions. Road bikes have narrow wheels of a fairly large diameter, which allow you to cover a distance quickly and slickly. If however your direction will take you over rough or pot-holed ground, then a road bike may not be ideal for you.
Mountain bike - these bikes are also called All-Terrain Bikes and are designed for off-road cycling. Mountain bikes feature sturdy, highly durable frames and wheels. Wheels of mountain bikes are considerably wider than road bikes and the tyres are heavily treaded. Some mountain bikes include shock absorbtion systems and higher specfication mountain bikes are made of lighter materials such as aluminium to reduce the overall weight of the bike.
Hybrid bikes - Also called utility bikes, these are a cross between mountain bikes and road bikes, and often can be ideal for recreational users, who may mainly use their bikes for road use, but can on occasion go off road. With the british pot-holed roads, these bikes can often be ideal for commuting, being a balance between speed, weight and sturdiness.
