A few days ago, I mentioned the general stereotypes of people who ride certain types of bikes. There are off road bikes, and on road bikes. Today, I will sum up some of the reasons people ride a particular type of on road bike.
One type of on road bike is actually an off road bike as well. This is called a dual sport. It generally looks like an off road bike, however, it also includes turn signals, horn, and brake lights. These sit up taller so that they can handle obstacles better. The seats are narrower to allow the rider more stability. These bikes get pretty good gas millage and allow a rider to ride both on the street, and off the road when allowable and necessary.
Next we have cruisers, cruisers generally sit low, allowing most anyone a chance to ride one. They have a classic style. They tend to be wide sand are great for cruising around town and on the highway.
Sportbikes are a lot of fun, they are generally built for speed and performance. Top end models are comparable to modern day high quality sports cars.
As I finish this blog, my son is riding on his little 4 wheeler seemingly saying "Daddy bikes are fun, but a 4 wheeler is really the way to go!" He has his sport bike so maybe he's to young for a cruiser and he has yet to learn the fun of riding off road. No matter what he chooses to do, there's a bike to help him get there.
