Hi again
I left you last time in the 1870's of bikes and now we move on.
It was in the 1890's when all the modern aspects of bikes came into reality like the cable brake and the Derailleur. Bikes started to become what we see today during that time. The picture above is one of the first bikes of the early 20th century.
There are many types of bikes today and all serve a different purpose. I will list the popular types and what they are meant for.
1. All mountain/freeride bikes-these bikes are meant6 for all types of mountain biking for example downhill and cross country.
2. Downhill biking-these bikes are usually heavy and tough and equipped with heavy duty front and rear suspension and chunky tires because this bike is for speeding down over jumps and rocky terrain.
3. Road bikes-these bikes are very light and have no suspension. the reason is most roads are flat and can have lots of hills.
4. Bmx-this bike is small and light and most commonly used in jump parks to do tricks on.
5. Racing bikes-these bikes are amazing and are what proffesionals in the tour de france use. they are extremely light and aerodynamic.
6. Cyclocross-this bike is a mix between a road bike and mountain bike. Its has a road bike frame with mountain bike wheels. It is used an special made courses.
7. Cross country bikes- these bikes are light but strong and are used anywhere on a mountain. They are equipped with small suspension. They are very popular and fun bikes.
