Road Bikes FAQs

Where can I find replacement bike parts?

In most cases, the local bike shop is the easiest place to find replacement parts. However, if you don’t have a local shop, or if you ride a bike that requires hard-to-find parts, then searching online is probably your best bet.

When were the first mass-produced mountain bikes introduced?

The first mass-produced mountain bikes first appeared during the early 1980’s. However, there were examples of prototypes before then, but these were mostly hand-built.

Why are racing bikes so expensive?

Racing bikes make use of high-tech materials such as carbon-fiber and titanium in order to be as lightweight and stiff as possible. However, these materials are not cheap, nor is the engineering needed to design and build them.
