Mode Of Transport

What better mode of transport could there be for getting around your surroundings than a road bike? Road bikes are designed to be easy to ride—they’re lightweight and fast, and there are many options to choose from in terms of style, colour, size and accessories. At Gladstone Bicycle Centre, we have an extensive range for adults and kids, and if you’re unsure of the most suitable one for you, our team of passionate cyclists can help.

Although light, road bikes are actually stronger than they look with the latest styles manufactured using advanced materials that make riding more comfortable, faster and easier than ever before. Bicycles provide a level of independence, provide an alternative to walking and driving, and are a very healthy way of keeping fit and being outdoors in the fresh air.

The key things to look for when buying a new bike are the riding position, frame style and materials, the type of brakes used and the style of handlebars. Options include upright for cruising, flat bars, bull horns and riser bars.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Type Of Road Bike Should I Buy?

This depends on where you will be riding the bike. If you are staying on flat roads, then something that is fast and comfortable is your best option, you won’t need anything high performance. If you are riding through hilly areas you will need a lightweight, agile and high performance bike that has the power to easily ride up those hills. If you plan on doing long trips you will need a stable and comfortable endurance bike.

What Are Bike Frames Made Of?

Most bicycle frames are made from carbon fibre, aluminium, steel or titanium, and many frames are a combination of these materials. Frames are engineered for weight, comfort, speed, performance and price.
