Is it more laborious to ride a road bike?

At present, the Samak Party belongs to the largest group in the cycling circle, which means that there are the most people riding mountain bikes! However, it should be a good experience for people who often ride mountain bikes to switch to road bikes occasionally. After all, road cars can give people a sense of speed and lightness. There are some things you still need to know before riding a road bike! Road vehicles are mainly used in the competition between cement roads and asphalt roads, and are characterized by light weight, thinness, small wind resistance, large wheel diameter, small tire diameter, and large tooth ratio between toothed plate and flywheel.

Its thin body and bent handle design can effectively reduce wind resistance, and thin tires can also reduce wind resistance on the premise of ensuring stability. Lightweight car body is helpful for acceleration, sprint and climbing. Large transmission ratio and large wheel diameter are also designed for speed! A high-end road bike is much better than an ordinary mountain bike, and it is also cool. For example, a well-made carbon fiber frame, a silky transmission system and tires with good grip will make you fully experience the perfect combination of balance and speed in sports.

How to choose a road car that suits you?

High-end aluminum frame is recommended for beginners. The advantages of high-end aluminum frame in weight and strength are no less than those of low-end carbon frame. The aluminum frame is very suitable for beginners who lack riding experience. If you exercise, you can use the 2500-3500 giant OCR series or Merida R series; More than 5000 for amateur competitions. Carbon fiber road bikes are lighter and more professional, and the later maintenance is quite convenient. According to the level of the kit, Shimano kit is commonly used for road vehicles, and the speed control of each kit is close to that of professional training vehicles.

Correct riding posture: lower elbow position and reduce resistance.

This riding posture can keep your fingers on the brake gear lever for a long time, which is safer than riding with the lower handle, so it is a good thing to take the riding posture with the lower arm level, and it can also rest your arm. When the riding speed reaches or exceeds 35km/h, a large part of the power output by the rider is to resist the wind resistance, part of it is to lower the posture to reduce the wind resistance, and part of it is to push the ground hard to push forward.

Riding skills: bending technique

When bending down, the body should be consistent with the car, lean inward, and the upper body should be in a straight line with the car to overcome centrifugal force. The inclination angle depends on the speed and the size of the curve, but generally it should not exceed 28 degrees, otherwise there is a danger of slipping.
