Road Bikes
Road bikes (sometimes known in the UK and some other countries as "racing bikes")
are lightweight bikes designed for speedy on relatively smooth terrain.
These bikes are equipped with narrow wheels and tyres pumped to high pressure,
and shaped (including drop handlebars) such that the rider sits in an aerodynamic, stretched-out position.
Furthermore the brake-levers and gear shifters are often positioned
sich that you can reach them without taking your hands off the handlebars,
and hence make speedy gear changes.
Although riding one of these bikes, especially at speed, can be a lot of fun,
road bikes are not usually the best choice for urban commuting. The bikes
do tend to be relatively delicate, the range of gear ratios may not be sufficient
if there are steep hills in your area, and the the brakes may not be good enough
for emergency stops.
Another thing to bear in mind is that road bikes don't usually have mudguards, or even
the capacity to attach them - as a result, you can't simply hop on your bike in your work
clothes and expect the mudguards to protect them. Furthermore, road bikes made not have
braze-ons for a carry rack, and even if you can attach a rack directly to the frame,
you do need to remember that road bikes are not designed to carry heavy loads.
In short, if you're looking for a sturdy durable bike, then a road bike may not be the
best choice for you, and perhaps you ought to consider a
mountain bike or a
hybrid bike. On the other hand, if you think
you'll enjoy zipping through country lanes at speed, then a road bike is the ideal choice.
Here are are some road bikes:

Tommaso Imola Endurance Aluminum Road Bike, Shimano Claris R2000, 24 Speeds - Black - Medium- Manufacturer: Tommaso
- Brand: Tommaso
- UPC: 701698571345
- EAN: 0701698571345
- PartNumber: 47582
Physical Description:- Weight: 23.2 Pounds
- Color: Black
Features:- YOU DON’T NEED TO SPEND MORE THAN $600: Because Tommaso is a direct to the consumer brand you can now get a bike with 100% Shimano gears, super lightweight aluminum frame, and lightweight wheels for under $600. Tommaso gives you value like no other brand. We provide a lifetime frame warranty and great service through our U.S. based customer service team.
- THE IMOLA IS AFFORDABLE PERFORMANCE, NOT ENTRY LEVEL: If you are just getting into cycling or returning after a long hiatus, this is your bike. New and returning cyclists don’t need “beginner bikes”, that won’t meet your needs or last. You deserve affordable performance! The Imola embodies the idea of affordable performance with a full Shimano groupset you hope is on bikes costing $100’s more. Compare the Imola’s specs with any bike, and you will see the difference between us and the competition
- STEP UP TO THE BRAND NEW SHIMANO CLARIS R2000: The Shifters, Derailleurs, Crank, and Brakes are all new 2018 Claris. R2000 Claris STI shifters now mimic 105 and Tiagra components up the line. Cables are routed under the bar for a clean look that shifts perfectly. Only bikes with integrated shifters and brake levers will perform at optimal levels. Don’t be fooled by imitators using off-brand cranks or shifters, they aren’t optimized for Shimano gearing and can’t deliver precision shifting.
- YOU DESERVE A COMFORTABLE RIDE: Our compact frame geometry offers a more relaxed position for all riding styles, with a shallow handlebar drop so that you can still be comfortable when riding in the lower handlebar position. We even added extra control on turns by equipping the Imola with wider 25mm, 700c road bike tires. Every part of the Imola is designed for maximum comfort and efficiency, so that you can get the most out of every ride
- BUILT TO LAST: All too often things are made cheaply and break before their time. We believe that bikes should be reliable and built to last. This is why we use the highest quality aluminum in our bikes, and back it with our industry leading lifetime warranty. We also use only Shimano components, which are backed up with Shimano’s two year warranty and are designed function better and last longer than anything else on the market. Ride with confidence, knowing your new bike was built to last!
