Welcome
Utility bicycles are designed for commuting, shopping and running errands. They employ middle or heavy weight frames and tires and they often have internal hub gearing. To keep the rider clean, they often have full front and rear fenders and chain guards. To make the bike more useful as a commuter vehicle, they are often equipped with a basket. The riding position varies from upright to very upright.
- Mountain bicycles are designed for off-road cycling, and include other sub-types of off-road bicycles such as Cross Country (i.e."XC"), Downhill , and Freeride bicycles. All mountain bicycles feature sturdy, highly durable frames and wheels, wide-gauge treaded tyres, and cross-wise handlebars to help the rider resist sudden jolts. Some mountain bicycles feature various types of suspension systems (e.g. coiled spring, air or gas shock), and hydraulic or mechanical disc brakes. Mountain bicycle gearing is very wide-ranging, from very low ratios to mid ratios, typically with 16 to 28 gears.
- Racing bicycles (aka road bicycles) are designed for speed, and the sport of competitive road racing. They have lightweight frames and components with minimal accessories, drop handlebars to allow for a powerful and aerodynamic riding position, narrow high-pressure tires for minimal rolling resistance and multiple gears. Racing bicycles have a relatively narrow gear range, and typically varies from medium to very high ratios, distributed across 18, 20, 27 or 30 gears. The more closely spaced gear ratios allow racers to choose a gear which will enable them to ride at their optimum pedaling cadence for maximum efficiency.
- o Time trial bicycles are similar to road bicycles but are differentiated by a more aggressive frame geometry that throws the rider into (i.e "aero") riding position, sacrificing manoeuvrability for aerodynamics. They also feature aerodynamic frames, wheels, and handlebars.
- o Track bicycles, intended for indoor or outdoor cycle tracks or velodromes, are exceptionally simple compared with road bikes. They have a single gear ratio, a fixed drivetrain (i.e. no freewheel), no brakes, and are minimally adorned with other components that would otherwise be typical for a racing bicycle.
- Messenger bikes are typically used for urgent deliveries of letters and small packages between businesses in big cities with heavily congested traffic. While any type of bike can be used, messenger bikes are often stripped-down track-style bicycles (especially in the US), with either a fixed or singlespeed freewheel drivetrains.
- Touring bicycles are designed for bicycle touring and long journeys. They are durable and comfortable, capable of transporting baggage, and have a wide gear range.
- Randonneur or Audax bicycles are designed for randonnées or brevet rides, and fall in between racing bicycles and those intended for touring in terms of frame geometry and weight.
- Recumbent bicycles, which are sometimes referred to as 'Bents in the US, are designed to maximise comfort and minimise wind resistance, because the rider in a supine or semi-supine position. Whereas most of the other types of bicycle in this section are designed around a ‘diamond frame’ geometry, where the pedals and chainset are located at the bottom of the bicycle and handlebars are at the front, recumbent bicycles (recumbents) generally use a “boom” and rear triangle combination with the pedals and chainset located at the front of the boom and the handlebars are located either “over seat” or “underseat” in the centre.
- BMX bicycles are designed for stunts, tricks, and racing on hilly dirt BMX tracks. They have a single gear ratio with a freewheel and are built with smaller frames and wheels with wider, treaded tires.
- Cruiser bicycles are heavy framed balloon tired bicycles. They are also called beach bikes or boulevardiers and are designed for comfortable travel. Cruisers were the bicycle standard in the USA from the 1930s until the 1950s. The traditional cruiser is single-speed with coaster brakes, but modern cruisers come with three to seven speeds. Aluminum frames have recently been used in Cruiser construction, lowering weight.
- Finger bicycles Are toy bicycles usually made with a metal frame and rubber tires and handle bars. They unridable mini bmx bikes with working parts used for stunts and are about 4 in. long

Batur offers both magnificent scenes. They are the best for volcanic area and the largest lake in Bali. The eruption remains the lava and the path in vast area. On the north part of the lake, the lava touched gently the edge of the Batur lake.Exploring these areas is an amazing by riding a bike. Other auto vehicles are rather difficult to get deep inside. Biking will be accessible for some hidden places. The natural adventures can be passed in the level of leisure riding and challenging riding.
BikeBali will organize the biking adventure from 2 till 3 hours.

For family cycling, parents are very often riding their bikes with their beloved babies. Here is how baby seats can support the cycling trip very well. Baby (or child) seats fall into 2 categories: Front or Rear fitting. As a note, there is no specific safety standard governing child seats as a legal requirement of sale in the UK. There is a German TUV standard, to which many seats will conform. Seats MUST, however, be CE marked.
Rear Fitting Seats
Rear fitting seats are by far the most common and offer the widest variety of choice. There are a number of different styles available and each has its own set of features.
Features: (Not on all seats)
* Reclining back
* Adjustable headrests
* Cushion covers
* Storage compartments or bags
* Tool free fitment
* Grab bars
* Rain Covers
The basic seats generally have a weight limit of 18kg (40lb). In real terms this is the equivalent of an average 4 1/2 to 5 year old.
Better quality seats tend to be made of more durable ABS type plastics (the type used for car bumpers). This factor and better quality fixings and fixing methods mean that often the better quality seats are capable of carrying a heavier load (up to 22kg (48lb) max).
Please check that the weight capacity of any seat you buy is suitable for the child you intend to carry.
Some seats may have their own proprietary fixing mechanisms whereas others may fit to traditional type pannier racks. Seats fastened to pannier racks are more rigid when riding and would tend to cause less damage in the long term to your bike. Seat tube mounting baby carriers generally have the lower weight rating and can be a bit "bouncy" with a larger child in the seat.
Front Fitting Seats
Front fitting seats are less common and in some cases shops may refuse to sell them if they feel that there is any possible safety implication.
Features: (Not on all seats)
* Headrests
* Cushion covers
* Tool free fitment
* Grab bars
The basic seats generally have a weight limit of 15kg (34lb). In real terms this is the equivalent of an average 3 to 3 1/2 year old.
Some seats do offer an increased weight carrying capacity of 18kg (40lb).
Please check that the weight capacity of any seat you buy is suitable for the child you intend to carry.
A front seat allows more interaction between rider and passenger and is commonly more stable when occupied but the down side is that the child is placed in a position with no protection from the elements ie wind and rain, or from debris thrown up by vehicles in front. In Rear seats, the child is partially shielded by the adult rider.
Things to look for..
Quality stainless or chromed fixings.
5 point harnesses (2 straps over the shoulders, one between the legs and a full width waist strap.
Availability of spare parts and accessory items like spare fixing brackets or pannier racks.
Adjustability - Foot rests which extend as your child grows.
Foot retention straps.
Pros...
Allows a child as young as 6 months to be transported.
Better quality seats offer a variety of additional features, such as quick removal when not required.
Made of very robust materials but are relatively light weight.
The quickest and simplest method of child transportation.
Spare fixing kits are commonly available for better quality seats allowing the seat to be used on more than one bike.
Cons...
Child is carried quite high from the ground and this raises the centre of gravity of your bike potentially altering its handling.
An over excited child or one which is particularly active can affect the handling by constantly moving their body weight.
Unsuitable until child can sit up unaided and support the weight of their own head.
As the seat is commonly located directly over the wheel, the ride for your passenger can be a little uncomfortable.
Hardest to get the child into seated position owing to the height from the ground.
