Racing bikes are good bikes and they all have similar traits to them. The light weight frame that you might have to your bike may be made of some light weight metal such as aluminum. The wheels that you are riding on called tires are made to be able to withstand high pressures. The handle bars are slightly lower than usual and the gears and brakes may be in a cluster so you don’t have to take your hands off the grips anytime.

If you just like to simply go on an easy going bike ride, than more than likely a racing type of bike isn’t for you. The bike and its wheels are made smaller for lighter weight and the breaks are made for light weight also and not a quick stop so you may want another bike like a mountain bike. The gear ratio is probably going to be a lot longer on a racing bike to gain speed but you can get another bike such as the mountain bike that you can climb steep hills and mountains with, with ease.

With a light weight frame that you can pick up with one hand and the tight positions you may have to sit will make you accelerate at high speeds higher than a normal bike. The way the bike is made is to limit the wind and create a good position for the rider. With owning a racing bike they can reach pretty high speeds up to 35 mph I would say or at least what I have seen. They might be able to go even faster but I am not a bike rider fan so I wouldn’t know.

Another thing that racing bikes don’t have that a regular bike would is mud flaps to keep you from getting mud all over the back of your legs and bottom. Mudguards are good when riding in a dirt environment or a muddy road. As I stated this is also a choice that goes with a regular bike and not available in racing bikes.

Although you might have been thinking of getting a racing bike, and might have had the rack up for it in the garage already. It might not be the bike for you if you just like to go on easy rides and not fast speedy races. Other people may prefer to challenge their friends or family when owning a racing bike, but the family just may like the regular bikes too. Just choose whichever bike is right for you and what you want out of it. Don’t get the bike that you just want to have to own, get the bike that’s right for you and that you will enjoy riding.

Cervélo Cycles was founded in 1995 by Canadians Phil White and Gerard Vroomen and is based in Toronto, Canada. Cervélo Cycles famously provided frames from 2002-2008 for the Danish professional road cycling team, CSC. Cervélo Cycles also began a new cycling team, the Cervelo Test Team for the 2009 pro cycling season.

Cervélo Cycles uses CAD and computaional fluid dynamics to aid its designs. Frame materials include aluminum and carbon fibre. Cervelo Bikes uses the wind tunnel testing at San Diego Air and Space Technology Center, in California, USA. The distinctive features are compact frames and airfoil shaped down tubes on the S and P series frames.

Cervélo’s Cycles sponsorship of elite athletes, notably Team CSC, has led to widespread recognition of the brand Cervelo.

Cervelo’s misson from the start was quite simply ‘To help our customers win races’ and that mission still remains. That has been easily accomplished with Team CSC ranked #1 in the world and with cycle P3 being the most successful triathlon bike model in Ironman history with over 30 victories. As well as Cervelo Cycles mission to help their customers win races Cervelo are equally proud of their regular customers in the role they play in so many people’s achievements.

Cervelo Cycles is the world’s largest manufacturer of time trial and triathlon bikes in the world. A Cervelo Cycle was ridden by Carlos Sastre, the winner of the 2008 tour de France and at the Beijing Olympics Cervelo Bikes were ridden by over forty Olympic athletes, which resulted in three Gold, five Silver and two Bronze medals.

I have always been into bikes and watching the great riders in action fascinates me. Unfortunately watching and researching is the extent of my involvement but I found a great website that captured my attention.

There is also a video that shows you the craftsmanship of the Cervelo Cycle and its impact on the Tour de France that you can view. This website also has great links to other quality products on the biking circuit.
