Appendix A
Intended use of your bicycle
WARNING: Understand your bike and its intended use. Choosing the
wrong bicycle for your purpose can be hazardous. Using your bike
the wrong way is dangerous.
No one type of bicycle is suited for all purposes. Your retailer can help you pick
the “right tool for the job” and help you understand its limitations. There are many
types of bicycles and many variations within each type. There are many types of
mountain, road, racing, hybrid, touring, cyclocross and tandem bicycles.
There are also bicycles that mix features. For example, there are road/racing
bikes with triple cranks. These bikes have the low gearing of a touring bike, the
quick handling of a racing bike, but are not well suited for carrying heavy loads
on a tour. For that purpose you want a touring bike.
Within each of type of bicycle, one can optimize for certain purposes. Visit your
bicycle shop and nd someone with expertise in the area that interests you. Do
your own homework. Seemingly small changes such as the choice of tires can
improve or diminish the performance of a bicycle for a certain purpose.
On the following pages, we generally outline the intended uses of various
types of bikes.
Industry usage conditions are generalized and evolving. Consult your
dealer about how you intend to use your bike..
