About Planet Bike In November of 1996, Planet Bike was founded in Madison, Wisconsin. In many ways, Planet Bike began as a social experiment that dedicated itself to doing business in a different way. Instead of being just another company that develops and sells products with profit as its end goal, Planet Bike wanted to help bring about positive change for people, their communities, and the environment. Despite being a simple machine, the people at Planet Bike have always believed that the bicycle has great potential to help improve the world and the lives of the people in it. From the start, they have embraced an alternative corporate purpose which seeks to help get more people on bicycles by making communities friendlier places for the self-propelled. By donating 25% of company profits to causes that promote and facilitate bicycle usage, Planet Bike hopes to make an impact. Social experiments aside, Planet Bike was born from the heart of a cyclist with a goal of making innovative, high quality, and practical bicycle accessories. Simply put, they strive to design and develop the best bicycle products in the world. In the company's short ten year history, they have made important product innovations within the bicycle industry. Advancements include the 4-line computer which is now a standard in the industry and the world's first self-contained HID light. Not bad for a company that ten years ago started as a one man operation. Today, while still a small company, Planet Bike continues to evolve and improve their product line with the goal of always striving to build accessories that make it easier for people to ride their bikes. Since 1996, Planet Bike's financial support of the grassroots bicycle movement has totaled $500,000. By 2010, they have made a goal to donate $1 million to organizations that are dedicated to making America a friendlier place for cyclists.

Road Bike Seat

Once you have decided that you want to bike with your child, you have the option of going with a bike seat or a bike trailer. In making this decision, one important factor that you should think about is how your bike is going to handle differently depending on which you choose. If you are not an experienced biker, this is going to be an important factor in your decision. Experienced bikers may be better equipped to handle the extra weight of a seat or trailer.

Attaching a bike trailer or a mounted seat is going to affect the way you can handle and maneuver your bicycle. Your balance and ability to control the bicycle and steer it straight ahead may change from what you are used to riding by yourself.

You should also consider that you may not be able to bike in the same places that you have before. For example, you may not be able to bike down a narrow path with a trailer because the trailer is wider than the bicycle. You may not be able to ride on the shoulder of a road that has a lot of traffic if the shoulder is too narrow. If you have to pass through any tight area, you should pay attention to the trailer behind you because it may be too wide to get through without scraping up against something or getting stuck on something.

You ability to go up steep hills may also be changed because the trailer adds extra weight that you must push as you peddle uphill. This extra weight also builds up momentum as you speed up going down a hill, so you should be aware that braking at higher speeds may take longer due to the extra momentum. You may also have to avoid making sharp turns because they can cause the trailer to flip over.

Child seats also affect the way a bicycle handles, but in different ways than a bike trailer. Getting your child into the seat may be difficult because you do not want the bike to tip over. It is much easier to get your child in if you have somebody to assist you. You should never leave a child in the seat if the bike is only being held up by a kickstand.

One of the main ways a child seat can affect the maneuverability while you are riding is that you can be thrown off balance and have a hard time keeping the bike upright and going straight A child is likely going to move around in the seat, and that can easily throw you off kilter and cause you to veer left or right without even realizing it. This is something that could potentially be dangerous if you are riding near traffic. You are also going to have to get used to how it feels to make turns with the child seat added on because the weight distribution will be different. Making turns is going t

Unlike bike trailers, bike seats will not really affect where you can take your bike. You should be able to fit anywhere that your bike could fit before.

What is a Road Bike?

Road bike is also called road bicycle.  Road bike is also the terms used to refer to racing bicycle.  Racing bicycles are designed with drop handlebars and multi gears.  There are likewise road bikes available in single and fixed gear varieties.

Road bikes are used primarily on paved road.  While you can ride a road bike even on unpaved road, its construction is usually designed for paved road.

There are different classifications of road bikes.  We will discuss a bit about these road bikes to help you understand what road bikes are as against off-road bikes or mountain bikes.

Here are the classifications of road bikes

·    Touring bicycles
·    Hybrid bicycles
·    Utility bicycles
·    Roaster
·    Recumbent bicycles

We will discuss a bit about these classification of road bikes below.  Understanding these classifications will help you know road bikes well and this will definitely help you buy the road bike that you need.

Touring bicycle

Touring bicycles are designed for bikers who take part in bicycle tours.  These bikes usually are robust, comfortable and capable of carrying heavy loads.  This bike can handle long journeys and may run smoothly even on unpaved road.

Carrying with you basic repair tools especially in long journeys will help you avoid problem that you cannot handle.

Hybrid bicycles

Hybrid bicycles are road bikes that are designed for variety of recreational and utility purposes.  While this classification of road bike is intended primarily for use on paved road.  They can run smoothly on unpaved trails and paths as well.

Hybrid bicycles are used by many individuals while exercising or for riding with friends.

Utility bicycle

As the name implies, this road bike is designed for traditional commuting, shopping and running errands in towns and cities.

In some countries, they use utility bikes with carts to carry passengers aside from goods and materials when they go shopping or run errands.

Roadster

Roadster is form of utility bicycle developed in UK.  Of course, it is used mainly on paved roads or trails designed for bicycles.

Recumbent bicycle

Recumbent bicycles are road bike varieties designed for recreation and utility purposes.  This differs in other road bikes because of its unusual riding position.  In this case, the cyclist is seated in a reclined position.

Now that you know the different classification of road bikes, you can now buy the road bike that is specific to your need and of course, your wants.

If you need your bike for recreation alone, buying a utility bike may not be necessary.  Choose the best road bike that fits your needs and your budget and now that you know their differences, you will be guided properly when you buy your bike.

Biking provides you with an option to reach your destination without contributing to pollution, which car exhaust does.

It surely is beneficial to have a road bike because it helps you exercise without going to the gym and because of its other functionalities like utility purposes, having a bike is more beneficial.

About the Author

If you however do not require a mountain bike and needs

road bikes for recreation and utility, you do not need to buy a more expensive mountain bike. Settle for road bikes and enjoy riding on paved road.

Whats a respectable road bike brand?

I'm a complete newbie to bikes so don't really know what to look for. I'm doing a 250-mile charity bike ride in a few weeks, most of which will be on road- so a road bike? The only thing is comfort- most of the road bikes I've seen have killer seats. I know a few of the other guys have racing bikes, and I need to be keeping up with then. So can anyone reccomend a FAST and COMFORTABLE bike?? Thanks.

you will not be keeping up with your friends, unless they are waiting for you, even on a $10,000 Pro-Tour ready bike. in fact, you'll be lucky to finish the 250 miles without the assistance of the sag-wagons, given you haven't begun training, and only have a few weeks! you haven't developed your cycling muscles, nor the stamina to go that distance. as far as bikes go, there are plenty of makes out there. but more important than the brand is the fit. get fitted at your LBS! they stock reputable brands, and can assist you with getting a bike that fits you and your budget. your perception of the "killer" seats is apparantly only visual. saddles are designed to support you at your sit bones, and minimize rub with your moving legs. hence the low profile. a properly fitted saddle is more comfortable than it appears, and won't cause as much chafing as those plush, cushy models will on a long ride!
