Triathlon Bike

When a triathlete rides a triathlon bike, he must be able to take advantage of the wind. To do this, a triathlon bike is designed to be aerodynamic – flat handlebars, frame tubes which are lighter, aerobars which are handlebars that are lighter and lower. Overall, a triathlon bike sits lower than a regular road bike and this helps the triathlete use muscles that he does not need to use in running so it helps preserve his muscles. This is very important because a triathlon athlete very often has to ride his triathlon bicycle and then immediately go and run. So if his muscles that he uses for running are overexerted, he is going to find the going hard. A good triathlon bicycle designed for these special needs is so important in order for him to do his best in all his triathlon events.
