Selecting Your Road Bike
Road bikes tackle all sorts of paved-surface riding. That means city streets, country lanes, cycle paths, mountain passes, and more. These bikes are lightweight and aerodynamic, designed to be fast in a straight line and uphill.
Their frame geometry, components, and handlebar shape lend them to being fast, making them a great racing bike. That's why many cyclists consider road bikes the sports car of the bicycle world.
So how do you choose the right road bike for your needs? Start by asking yourself some questions:
- What style of bike do you ride now?
- What bikes are your friends riding?
- What’s your budget for a road bike?
Keep in mind that road bikes perform best for pavement riding and speed. If you decide one is right for you, you can purchase some of the best road bikes from our Westchester County bike store. Choose from some top brands, including Trek, Felt, KHS, Cervelo, Scott, and others.
You can also select from performance and gravel bike styles.

Selecting the Right Size Bike
The most important part of buying a road bike is getting the bike that fits you perfectly. In addition, you'll want to pay attention to the seat height and horizontal positioning, reach and drop to the handlebars, and body angles with the bike.
Road bike saddles are generally long and narrow with light padding to support long rides that can last several hours. But the key is making sure you get a good bike fit. You'll endure fewer aches and pains if you're comfortable on your road bike. Plus, you'll enhance your pedaling efficiency and bike handling to enjoy your ride better.
That's why It makes sense to invest in a bike fitting. It will pay off when you ride your road bike on Westchester County roads. Just ask us, and we'll be happy to book a bike fitting appointment for you.
Road Bike Frames
If you’re an avid cyclist, you know the frame can make or break a bike. Road bike frames are typically aluminum or carbon, with steel and titanium used in special niche bikes. The frame material you select, along with its overall quality of components, will impact the cost.
Traditional road frames use compact geometry, with a sloping top tube to make a smaller, lighter frame and improve the standover height. You must buy the right size and shape frame for your size and riding.
We have road bikes for sale in price ranges to fit every budget. You can check out the styles online or stop by our bike shop in Mt. Kisco, NY, to take one for a test ride.

Other Key Road Bike Considerations
There are some other areas you’ll want to keep in mind when buying a road bike. Each will impact the overall cost of your bike, but can each can greatly improve overall performance.
- Brakes: Most road bikes are now coming spec’d with disc brakes, but some rim braked models are still available if you prefer that.
- Handle bars: Road bikes use dropped handlebars and allow for multiple positions. The bike’s bar width and shape vary so that you can tailor your road bike to fit you perfectly. The handlebars tops, with your hands either side of the stem, are used for steep climbs or cruising. The hoods are the brake lever covers, and provide a comfortable stretch and good leverage for climbing out of the saddle. The drops are the lower parts of the bar, used for a lower position at speed.
- Cassette: Road bikes use gears that are more tightly packed together to help you pedal at ideal speeds. Most road bikes, apart from entry level ones, now have 11 sprockets.
- Derailleurs: Derailleurs change gears, pushing the chain across the cassette sprockets and from one chainring to the other, controlled by the shifters. Most road bikes have front and rear derailleurs moved by cables connected to the shifters. However, some bike manufacturers offer electronic derailleurs.
You can count on Bicycle World NY to have a road bike that makes hitting the road an enjoyable experience.
