A road bicycle, also known as a road bike, is designed for road cycling. As such, the most important elements of a road bike are its weight and aerodynamic riding position. Road bikes combine drop handlebars and a raised seat for maximum aerodynamic efficiency. The lightweight frames on these bicycles are designed for road racing, bicycle touring, or track races, and the gears are closely spaced for pedaling at optimum cadence.
