Key Features and Parts of a Road Bike

There are many features of a road bike but the two most important are its light weight and the rider position. You can easily recognize a road bike by its handlebars that are lower than the saddles. This design will put the rider in an aerodynamic position. The road bike delivers amazing handling capabilities because the rear and front wheels are close together.
