Many of us buy a road bike and do not use it while some of us do not even consider buying a road bike probably because of some fear. Well to help you out deal with these fears below in this article I have covered a few road bike myths that you must know.
You need a lot of gear
When you get a road bike there is a good chance people will tell you to buy a lot of gear such as shoes, gloves etc. with it but trust me you do not require so much of gear. Whether you are a beginner or a professional rider the only important things that you need to ride your road bike is a helmet, the bike itself and you. Yes the other gear does help you out and I would advise you to get it but those things can be bought later on once you have started riding on a regular basis.
Buying a road bike and gears needs a lot of money
If someone told you a road bike is very expensive they are wrong. Buying a good road bike along with all the gear is in fact quite affordable. You can get an excellent road bike for less than $1000. Plus a road bike also saves you a lot of money because it does not need any fuel and also the maintenance cost of the road bike is quite low as compared to a car or motor bike.
