Road/Commuter

Road/Commuter bicycles are suitable for town and cities. These are a cross between a road bike and a mountain bike making them versatile and perfect for everyday use. They are generally built for comfort with larger saddles and have elevated handlebars to provide an upright sitting position. They are heavier and have fewer gears than conventional road bikes making them perfect as an electric bike as commutes become easy and pleasant. They also come in step through frames with chain guards and mudguards to protect against oil and dirt. They might also have puncture proof hybrid tyres suitable for going on cycle tracks and the odd trail. They can be fitted with a rear or front rack, to enable panniers or baskets to be added for the transport of items.

Road bikes are built for speed and are best suited to the tarmac and paved roads. They normally have thinner tyres, are lighter and have more gears making them, agile, fast and efficient.
