Thanks to my source (http://www.bikewebsite.com/trivia.htm) I found something interesting about biking.

The longest tandem or “bicycle built for two” ever made was actually for thirty-five. It is almost 67 feet long and weighs about as much as a Volkswagen.

A race bike is lighter than other bicycles and is built for speed. It is generally very thin, with high pressure tires to minimize resistance and many gears, the riders in an effort to optimize production. There are two other categories of bike racing, time trial bikes and track bikes. The time trial bicycles are similar to bike or racing bike, except that they are constructed so that the rider is very aerodynamic. Track bikes are designed for use on cycle tracks or velodromes and rudimentary with only one gear and no brakes.

You have seen many utility bicycle used so conveniently by many people including women and young adults. It’s so easy to use and there’s no fear that you’ll tip off from the bike while riding. A utility bicycle is designed for comfort. It is often large, heavy, and may have a basket. This is a “classic” bike that many people have an image of this in mind when they think of a bicycle.

Heard about US superstar Dennis Enarson, world champ Kye Forte, France’s wonderchild Patrick Guimez and German vice champ Benny Paulsen from Moers. These are celebrities in the world of biking.

Another type of bike is the mountain bike. It is designed for off-road or trail riding. Generally they have very durable frames, often quite large and thick, wide-gauge tire for better traction. They may also have some form of suspension to help the driver react to rough terrain.
