FITNESS/commuter bike
Fitness bikes are ideal for the rider who is looking for versatility in their road bike. This bike can be ridden on a long training ride, or it may be used as a regular commuter bike. Alternatively, it can also be a fun bike to roll along the bike path on a Sunday morning. A good fitness bike (e.g Scott SUB) will feel fast to ride. The frame will be rigid to give the bike good stable handling characteristics.The wheels should be robust to allow versatility and durability. This bike should also be very comfortable to ride.

RACING BIKE
Racing Bikes in the entry level sport category are ideal for the cyclist who is looking for a fast bike for spirited training rides or perhaps to do the occasional triathlon style event. The bikes in this category will generally have the same features as higher end performance bikes. These bikes are suitable for the rider who may want to ride 2 or 3 days a week for an hour or two at a time. The drop style handlebars on these bikes allow the rider to vary the hand position to suit the riding situation. Drop bars are particularly useful on longer rides to reduce fatigue by varying the ridering position on the bike.

RACING FLATBAR BIKE
This category of  bike is for the cyclist who wants a fitness oriented bike for training or perhaps commuting. The flat handlebar allows the rider to sit in a slightly more upright riding position. A well designed flatbar bike will also have a slightly longer wheelbase to give the bike a more stable handling characteristic.The tyres are generally slightly wider than a performance racing bike to enhance comfort. These bikes will feel fast without being twitchey or nervous on descents or corners.
