Biking brings joy to many
Being outside, traveling distances, being with friends is all part of the enjoyment of cycling. Which type of adventure is for you?
🏔Mountain Biking
Mountain Biking is a rigorous sport, involving
hills and often rocky terrain. Biking in the mountains can show you
views you have only seen on postcards!
From Wikipedia: Mountain biking is a sport of riding bicycles off-road, often over rough terrain, usually using specially designed mountain bikes. Mountain bikes share similarities with other bikes but incorporate features designed to enhance durability and performance in rough terrain, such as air or coil-sprung shocks used as suspension, larger and wider wheels and tires, stronger frame materials, and mechanically or hydraulically actuated disc brakes.
🛣 Road Biking
Road Biking involves covering long distances, with
cyclists spending hours on the road. The endurance factor can be very
rewarding, and top speeds can exceed that of a car!
From Wikipedia: While there are many types of bicycles that are used on the roads, dedicated road bicycles have specific characteristics that make them ideal for the sport.
Road bicycles have thinner tires, lighter frames with no suspension, and a set of drop handle bars to allow riders to get in a more aerodynamic position while cycling at higher speeds.
A professional rider can average up to 25 mph (40 km/h) on a flat road!
💼 Commuter Biking
Commuter Biking is all the rage due to the
accessibility of e-bikes. Many people will commute to and from work on
e-bikes or use it to transport kids, pets and cargo.
From Wikipedia: An electric bicycle is a motorized bicycle with an integrated electric motor used to assist propulsion. Many kinds of e-bikes are available worldwide, but they generally fall into two broad categories: bikes that assist the rider's pedal-power and bikes that add a throttle, integrating moped-style functionality.
