After your first day of cycling, one dream is inevitable. A memory of motion lingers in the muscles of your legs, and round and round they seem to go. You ride through Dreamland on wonderful dream bicycles that change and grow. ~H.G. Wells, The Wheels of Chance
Not only are road bikes ideal for speed and riding, but also, they are a pleasure to look at. Many of these road bikes are a step up from mountain bikes because their metallic colors and designs give road bikes a pleasing look, adding to their appeal. There are many advantages of owning a road bike; especially now that their popularity is steadily increasing and they can become very valuable.
OK - You've picked out your bike - now it's time for a road trip!
