I know this channel is mostly focused on cycling sport, but I missed the more practical classic upright Dutch bikes from that list along with cargo bikes.
But never forget the ever scandalous stolen bike, it can take any form as long as it fancies covetous eyes, stolen bikes can take any form factor which is an advantage among all other bikes, the catch though it is only obtained by chance not by cash
Right? They're totally missing out on the 7 speed beach cruiser man.
Or any kind of city bike other than folding, like fixies/singlespeed. Also, there's no touring bikes either.
@@TheSJCieply seems mainly focused on sports riding, but imo city bikes and Dutch bikes etc are the most practical and useful of all, and their electric variants.
yeap, probably the most ridden type of bike in the whole world, probably even more ridden than all the other types of bikes combined
I'm here to give thumbs up for the animator of each bike type. Those animations are top notch!
Creative and well-animated!
@@da14a49 especially the recumbent bike which was out of frame until the scene panned down! reflects real-life encounters with recumbents.
what u mean the track bike had brakes
Unfortunately in the thumbnail the bike listed as a bmx is actually dirt jump/slopestyle bike similar use but not the same machines
@@jonnythelegs2597 Ooh thanks, I was losing my mind here, thinking
I missed something HUGE in BMX-Development and they just started using full sus....my world was crumbling and then I see "perfect animations"😂. They could have just asked Blake or anyone at Gmbn....a bit sad, to be honest...was hoping they at least checked in with their colleagues if they wanted to make a guide for bikes in general.

They should have put gravel and touring together and left hybrid out, but list MTB in 2 cat.
@@izi941 tandem bike?
Where is the cruiser bike?
where my fixed gear at
@@issaclee3590 Fixed gear and track bike are the same.
Do a vid on commuter bikes, Dutch bikes, mixtes etc. The rental market too that has bikes made for comfy, slow, looking around at the sites biking. Also beach cruisers and other kinds of fat tire bikes.
Do you want to go 5 miles to somewhere nice and be able to wear regular clothes and look around? A beach cruiser/comfort hybrid/ dutch bike might be for you!
Fat bikes yes the bike I ride
My 3 bikes are all IGH, steel and heavy. I do centuries on all them, including the SA 3 speed.
The fastest has been the SA XL-RD5w, faster than all the cheap defaileurs I ever had.
They won't. they need to clip in and feel the spandex squeeze their buns or they don't count us as cyclists
I really don't like those bikes. I'd much rather use a hybrid bike. when you literally have to expend more energy to go the same speed, they are anything but comfortable. I think bikes are comfortable when they carry your momentum and reduce the effort you have to put in to commute. For a bike to forego these things for a fatter ass-rest and a weird seating position, I don't personally see how it's better at all.
There are quite a few bikes you missed in this list. Long tail cargo bikes, standard cargo bikes, cargo trikes, adaptive bicycles, handcycles, recumbent trikes, recumbent quads, 2 person quads, 4 person quads, 7 person quads,, 11 person quads,, side by side trike, side by side bikes, adult trikes, fixed gear bikes, commuter bikes, beach cruiser bikes, tall bikes, tall trikes, bikes with a sidecar, tandem bikes, swing bikes, lowrider bikes, and fat tire bikes. I live in Portland, Oregon, USA, and have seen all these bikes.
That's a lot of bikes.
And a trials bike
That reverse steering bike Destin from Smarter Every Day made.
And the one type we need now more than ever is the one type missed out, omafiets.
and also dirt jumper or swing bike....this video is missing a lot
Gotta make a part 2 mate.
Hop across the North Sea and be amazed by the stuff we drive in the Netherlands.
A small selection;
Granny bike, transport bike, paddlebike (basically a boat), Tandem bike, three-wheeler (no not the baby one), wheelchair bikes, wheelchair E-bikes, Monowheels, paper bikes (for paper rounds, not made from actual paper) etc...
Great video! For a future episode please consider making a video about how differences in geometry of the frame affect riding. Eg you mentioned CX are better for close corners but what makes that possible? Especially when shopping for a new or used bike it would be really useful to be able to get an idea on how the shape of the frame will make a difference.
you can't miss the Old Chopper with the Car like gear stick. Every kid in the 70's had 1.
Haha, I was going to say that "Banana bikes" they were also called because of the seats. My first bike, but nostalgia aside, BMX were a huge leap in functionality for that size wheel
I had a Schwinn Stingray, classic. Upgraded it by adding a sissy bar
@@drbobjohnson812 Same Here. got for Christmas when I was 12. It was purple.
Yeah, totally! Banana seat, chopper bars. Cool (if you're 10 or 12)! I still couldn't do a wheelie on mine (and definitely can't do one on my road bike, now).
How old are you? You have that old Fascist sympathiser as your profile pic, so I imagine you're ancient.
so you basically went through every minor variation of road bikes, and left out some important and unique ones like dutch bikes and fixies. Nice video but misleading title.
Epic video!
Though there were several types of bikes that were missed.
1. Dutch style.
2. Traditional \Modern commuter.
3. Beach Cruiser.
4. Tricycle.
5. Rickshaw.
6. Unicycle.
7. Bicycle built for two.
8. Low rider Cruiser.
I bet that I have Miss many types of bikes as well. Tell me in the comments below which ones I missed, and which other bikes out there are!
If I read this I hope that you have a great day and a very prosperous life good luck to you.
The modern commuter is basically a hybrid bike. But yeah, bikes like the Dutch style are a class of their own.
Trials bikes
Trials bikes, cargo bikes, dirt jump bikes, fat bikes, etc
And Japanese cycle bike
The list should have included triathlon bikes. Yeah, they are similar to time trial bikes, but they usually have onboard stowage for water, snacks, and spare tubes, inflaters and tools. Also, time trial bikes are usually constrained by UCI regulations whereas triathlon bikes are not.
Yeah, but triathletes are not cyclists.
Tools on a race bike?? LOL hahahahahahaha
They'll be fricking DEAD LAST anyway.
@@GordoGambler I have had the experience of getting a flat tire during a triathlon. I was able to fix it myself. The race bike mechanic showed up just as I was finishing with replacing the tire tube, so I could have waited for him to make the repair, but it was nice to be able to do it myself.
@@michaelobermueller231 Why not? They are swimmers, cyclists and runners in the same time, they train all three disciplines.
@@michaelobermueller231 Technically they are. By definition everyone riding a bicycle is a cyclist. Maybe you meant "triathletes are not professional cyclists", in this case...
Yeah, they are, too. They train like any professional cyclist, the difference is that they split their time between the disciplines. Also, I bet a veteran triathlete wins against a bunch of junior professional cyclists.
I can't believe you missed the Dutch style bicycle aka Omafiets
They also missed fixies
Dutch would fit into hybrid, but yes I think it does deserve specific mention. I was wondering about Fixies, I guess they would be a modification of a track bike for street use
Or just in general an upright bicycle.
@@drbobjohnson812 What part of a Omafiets is borrowed from a mountain bike???
@@HiopX I did not necessarily say Omafiets came from Mountain bike, which I think is what you are asking. Among my bike collection I have what I would consider a dutch bike or I call it a pick up truck SUV bike. What I meant is Dutch is a hybrid a mixture of bike styles, meant to mostly ride flat paved roads or packed dirt and can carry your stuff.
I built my own bike, from an older mbt frame, with front suspenion, put a drop handlebar on it, some mounts for my packages, and I use it both as a daily commuter and a touring bike, I love it. Also a full frame repaint is in the planning for the summer.
Nice to see the recumbent here too, thanks! Technically, the most of the velomobiles shown in the video are not bicycles, but tricycles and a quadricycle, by the way. But it's that velomobile that is my preferred mode of transport. Not only sports, no. Transport. I literally go everywhere in the Milan, even when I go to race it, I ride there in it :-)
Hope gcn would try fat bikes, trials bikes, low riders and tall bikes.
yes please bro penny farthings unicycles swing bikes
A little bit disappointed you missed the English Roadster and its derivatives like the Dutch Omafiets or its hot-rod version, the Pathracer. The Randonneur (audax in the UK) would have been a cool discipline to talk about as well as cargobikes or the Mini-Velo.
I was really hoping mino velo's would get a mention too. I ride one as my main bike. 20x1.5 wheels with a drop bar.
@@nonamedpleb I really like the look of mini velo's. I should try one some time but most of the ones I've seen were too small for me.
I'm really struggling to get to grips with the term Randonneur as a type of bike. What I could find from Wikipedia it's described as a competitive road bike with some endurance capabilities like lights, mudguards and light luggage. But recently there was a brief discussion in a local bike/cycling chat group and someone said a Randonneur frame to be basically a gravel bike frame but with cantilever mounts.
@@argh1989 A randonneur is in between a modern Endurance road bike, touring bike and gravel bike but with mudguards and lights. Compared to a modern gravel bike however the geometry is much more relaxed, sometimes even with a very low trail fork to make keeping a straight line easier after a long day in the saddle. Most have a small rack with a rando bag in front. But calling a randonneur a gravel bike is like calling a gravel bike a 90's mountain bike with less travel. Technically the randonneur was earlier than either one of those. Classic randonneurs do come with either cantilever or centerpulls. But that's more because those were common on bicycles that wanted to use mudguards. Many people take American 27" road bikes, replace the wheels with 650B wheels for wider tyres and turn those into a rando bike. Fast, light and comfortable for long days in the saddle in all weather conditions.
This feels like a video from 7 years ago, what a video!
I like how you were hesitant to differentiate the hybrid bike and the gravel bikes like there's any difference 😂
Mostly derivatives of the safety bicycle. Not one mention of the now 60 year old Alex Moulton design, a bicycle revolution that had suspension at both ends, luggage capacity if you needed it and could be used for racing (until they banned it for being too good), record breaking, touring and commuting.
Thanks for the info, I just looked-up him and his bikes, very interesting
Just down the road from GCN, they could make a visit. I'd been keen to know more.
Except recumbents
I remember when the first Moultons made an appearance, in the early 60s, but I can't recall hearing of them winning TTs.
@@richardharris8538 Apparently they were quite successful in team time trial events. at least in part because the small wheels allowed tighter spacing between riders, hence better aerodynamics and higher speeds.
I'm currently trying out Track Cycling. It's kicking my butt because I predominantly ride a touring bike for long treks. When touring it's about conserving energy, and using all the gear ratios on the bike to make pedaling your gear easier, and with a steady cadence. Track biking is the opposite. It asks you to Sprint for as long as you can. And if you want to go faster, you must increase your cadence. It is the best cardio I've received in a long time.
Can add few more next time around: Fixie? Unicycle? Triathlon bikes? Artistic Cycling bikes?
There are a few that I didn't see.
1 - Cruisers. They're mainly made for their aesthetic appeal, but the 2" tires, the wide and high handlebars, and wide seats make them very comfortable for long rides.
2 - Tandem Bicycles. These are basically the stretched limos in the bike world. They usually carry two people, but there have been models made for three or more.
3 - Cargo Bicycles. These bicycles have a large well deck between the rider and the front wheel. Most are electric these days, but the ones that aren't electric are geared lower to carry heavier loads.
4 - Fat bikes. These bicycles have very wide tires. The idea is that you can ride over soft terrain with them, such as mud or sand.
middle class dudes: BIKE IS A BIKE.
Yeah
Cool video but I'm pretty sure the 'bmx' on the thumbnail is a Canyon Stitched 720 which is slopestyle bike (dirt jumper with rear suspension)
My touring bike is my favorite all around bike. I've got a more aggressive fit so it is gravel bike that can carry loads. Also have a road bike with clip on Aero bars for Triathlon. That covers all my needs.
I can't believe you left out the late 80s niche 20" Crit bikes, (I think GT and Haro called them "Formula Crit or something like that.) Jokes aside, you totally left out Trials and BMX Freestyle bikes, (Both of which have further subdivisions.)
Thanks Alex for this. Like a train spotters guide for bikes. Now I can drive my wife crazy and point out all the different types. For her, a bike is a bike...😁 GCN keeps coming up with awesome content!!
appreciate your support pal!
Hello GCN, one subject I think would make a good video is explaining the physical reason why some frame geometry are more energy efficient. How come so much much muscle juice is wasted when I use my commute "dutch" bicycle VS my gravel...
Balance bike is important to have the next generation of any cyclist
Soybike you mean. Mick Doohan was on a motorcycle before these kids get a balance bike these days
@@janeblogs324 It is a far better way to teach kids to ride. Nothing soy about it. Dirty little secret is that you can just take the pedals off for essentially the same effect.
Yeah, the kid bike without pedals and drivetrain. Nothing with the moto
Thanks for the video!
Good to see this variety!
In another video. It would be good to cover the other types:
- Roadsters like the Chinese Flying Pigeon (most numerous vehicle in the world with 500 million).
- Dutch-style utility bikes
- Fixed-gear bicycles
- Cargo bikes
- Tricycles
- Children's bikes
- Step-through (mixte)
- Cruiser bikes
- Probably even more
Thanks for the clear explanation and it did indeed help confirm my bikes match the riding I do.
Thanks Alex for an informative video
when you went into recumbents you showed some recumbent trikes as well which are obviously not bikes due to an excess of wheels.
Nice list, thanks.
Great compilation
Brave video. As every critic will say, you missed a few. As of 11/2023, the count is up to around 622 different types. Five main categories: 1) Antique/Vintage/Classic (3 groups), 2) Common (12 groups), 3) Unorthodox (10 groups), 4) Competitive/Sports (6 groups), and 5) Utility (4 groups). Below the groups are the individual types. Many factors go into classifying a bicycle, too numerous to mention here. A few types that you overlooked are: cargo bikes, "stingrays", beach cruisers, Dutch roadsters, Art bikes, Other (like handcycles, quads, striders, tandems, kickbikes, unicycles and Velocinos), Novelty bikes, a myriad of competition bikes, and bikes for mobility challenged people. It's a big world! Thanks for the video!
GCN should also note that quadricycles, tricycles and pedals were invented before the first bike existed
Got a full-suspension electric MTB last year. It is hands down THE most fun riding experience I’ve ever had with any vehicle 🚲
Love this video! I race XC MTB on an ORBEA oiz M LTD and I love it, currently my bike savings are going to a ORBEA occam
I love my folding mountain bike from Changebike (Flatbike is the U.S, distributor). Having loads of fun so far!
Gravel bikes are nothing more than a 90’s mountain bike? My 90’s Mtn bike finds that highly insulting.
Gravel bikes are nothing but a rebranded cyclocross bike !!!
@@JIMMYHIBBS1 Nope. They look similar, but the geo is different. Tire sizes and rules based development make them different as well.
I ride a Cruiser bike, and have for years . I love it and get loads of compliments , It is very pratical and I ride all year . I live in Canada .
Great idea!
Gravel is my favourite: light enough, fast enough, stable enough.
not sure what gravel bike you have but mine is 5lbs heavier than my road bike lol
@@justinbouchardhe said “light enough”…. He didn’t say it is lighter than a road bike or as light
@@justinbouchard I haven't got a road bike to compare it to. 😉 My gravel bike weighs 11.3 kg. Triban, extra small.
@@alinapopescu872 Not bad!!!!!
I've had my gravel bike for almost 2 years now. I wish I had bought a cross bike or a road bike that could fit 32mm tires. A gravel bike isn't just a road bike with bigger tires. It's a mountain bike with road bars. If the bike is an extra small frame and don't need to carry bags on your bike, that frame and beefier wheels add so much weight for really no reason at all. Any bike that can have a big enough tire, can go wherever you want it to. Heavy frames are for bike packers in my opinion. Most gravel bikes are bike packing bikes to me. Frame way over built for general off road riding with no bags attached all over the bike that are able to support a massive amount of weight.
@@Keoponloeu I'm going to take a big risk here and say "she".
If you're that bored and in a rush to "annihilate" someone in youtube comments maybe go help your mom with some dishes or something.
No Fat Bike!? The ONLY bike you can ride four seasons pretty much anywhere. As someone who has had most of the bikes on this list, it’s also the most fun!
With cargo, upright, commuter and tadpole (reverse trikes) entering the mainstream a Part 2 really is required:
Hybrid "commuter" bike here. My bike "Betty" is more road than gravel - she can deal with gravel and crap in the road better than super lean tires, but no suspension, and she is not *good* on gravel.... just generically stable, with a flat bar. She also is odd in that her top bar is super diagonal, so I can't store a lot under it due to odd geometry, but I can swing my leg up and over in the *front* when I dismount to take the pedestrian cross-walk at intersections after riding up to it (leaving the cars behind going "haha I can fake it and you're stuck at the light").
Would probably enjoy a light weight touring/endurance bike sometime. Close enough to being more zippy... but tbh, I only ever want to push speed for downhill zoomies, and lighter for hills on my casual "lets see how far I can bumble today" would be pleasant.
There is a mistake on the thumbnail, one bike is tagged as 'BMX' while it is dirtjumping bike.
I'm missing Dutch bikes and Cargo Bikes as well as the (typical for germans) trekking bike.
Thanks for this, I need a bike to ride alongside my kids on the canal. Last bike I had was a skyway BMX in the 90s lol. At least I've got a bit of a clue now lol!!!!
To add to the list: My Schwinn Discover (hybrid step through) for my daily commute and my Belgium Brewery beach bike (“burra”) single speed.
The best ‘cause those 🚲 are my transport. ☺️🤩
great research pop ❤️🤘
I love my recumbent trike, the Catrike Expedition with an Enviolo rear hub.
I just love this channel
Useful video about type of bikes and then I know what bike I need
The recumbent animation gave me a genuinely great smile : D
Hey, there are a billion steel bikes that do NOT have derailleurs. Sturmey Archer 3 speeds are STILL the peak of simple efficient technology. And SA drum brakes also.
As a long-retired bike shop owner used to advertise on radio, "Bicycles, Bicycles, Bicycles!" My favorite bike was a hybrid bike fitted with bar ends and aero bars.
I grew up with BMX. As commuter to school, tour with friends across district, road race, flatland, half-pipe, off road, down hill. Now adult with road bike. Miss good old days.
I commute with a hybrid I have a very challenging hilly 14 mile commute and I love my hybrid bike it does the job!
Couple other types could be added to the list. Cargo Bikes, Pedicabs or multi rider bikes. Also not sure what you could call it but bicycles that have outer shells but not recumbent, sometime multi person, sometimes with electic assist, used for commuting or shopping. Kind of like a smart car, lets call it a smart bike
I like my gravel bike because I live in such an area that one turn to the left or right can bring you to a shortcut thru an off-road section back to the road and so on
That's the joy of a gravel bike 🙌
Bikes I've seen on GCN but aren't on the list:
- cycle ball bikes
- elliptical bikes
(probably lots more I haven't seen/forgot about)
And are stationary bikes, well, bikes? And the city bike.
I have a Mountain and Touring Bike and can confirm that the description is pretty dang accurate to the real thing.
The Romans had toy horses with a wheel between the front and rear hooves. Development had a hinge just behind the horse's shoulders to provide steering.
It was like a modern day 'training' scootalong.
In the thumbnail the "BMX" bike is a slopestyle bike . Also i think they could have mentioned that bmx bikes are used for tricks or track racing. Other than thoes really minor things, a great video, good job
Beach cruisers are also a big market. #FeltBicycles made the best cruisers between 2005-2009(aluminium frames). I own several of them, and I do all kinds of stunts and tricks on a 2009 Felt Red Baron.
my favorite type of is fixed gear bikes, is just track bikes but you can ride it to city roads
Trackbikes are basically eco-friendly NASCAR racing
What s up with sub-categories: Monstergravel, Cargo-Gravel, Race-Gravel, aero-Gravel, Adventure-Gravel, straight-Bar-Gravel…….they are very important too (youtube is saying)
Cyclocross, "bikercross", and bicycle motocross sound like they should all mean the same thing, yet they're completely different sports!
What do I like most about bicycles? Connect the contact points and axles and you get the classic diamond frame, unbeatable.
GCN: Folding bikes are not meant for long distances
Me and my folding bike that does 100km rides: :okay:
Thanks!
Neat video. I’m still fairly new to bikes. Due to my poor balance I recently got a tricycle. Could you do a video like this on trikes?
Great idea Kev, Maybe we'll look into this in the future. Welcome to the wonderful world of cycling 🙌
I was 100% sure on getting a gravel bike until this video. Now I have to research a bit more again to make sure I’m getting exactly what I want and need.
What type of bike is the SE OM Flyer? It has 29" wheels with semi-fat tires, disc brakes, shifter in the rear, 1 gear in the front, no suspension, internal cable housing including for a seat tube dropper. It has a chromoly frame and fork. Pedals are platform with studs. Handle bars are flat like a mt. bike. It falls somewhere between a mt. bike and a BMX bike so perhaps it's a mt. bike BMX hybrid.
I live in Japan. Like other Asian countries, bicycles are a popular way to get around. I’d say the most popular bicycle here, would be the cheap..to expensive basic shopping bicycle, called here in Japan, “MAMA CHARI”. I’ve also seen these is other Asian countries, but not in Australia, where I’m from.
I'm in oz and ride mine regularly. I bet they would be seen around cities and towns if you were back in oz now.
I love how the thumbnail depicts a dirt jumper as bmx
6:25 Exactly. I firmly blame GMBN for that one (MTB manufacturers PR consortium: "Please help us sell a new product segment guys" - GMBN & Pinkbike "How can we help you?").
Truth
Wish you touched upon Fixed vs Free Wheel bikes too. Love the video otherwise. Brilliant animations.
Explained the first real bikes were called safety bikes which are basically old version of city,utility or hybrid bikes. For some reason they explain bikes from road bikes and mountain bikes perspective. Though they have always been the speciality type.
you could do a separate video on the types of ebikes, the lines between ebikes, mopeds, and electric motorcycles can actually be very blurred sometimes
It would be sweet to see a breakdown of the different types of MTBs
There’s a reason [Dad] why I say “bicyclist” and not “cyclist”: Because I haven’t ridden a unicycle. (And I (at-least currently) don’t ride a tricycle).
So, “BI-cycle”. ie. Cycle on 2 wheels / Cycle that has 2 wheels.
P.S. @Alex: I’m still-wondering how-the-heck one gets ontop of the saddle of a Penny-Farthing.
I bloody loved this video! And I'm difficult to please
The einstein face costume surprisingly quite suits him, especially the moustache
Looking forward to see you guys in person on July, hoping that the job mail that I recieved from the UK is a legit one.
Here in the Philippines there are so many setup of mountain bike a Hybrid Setup with Rigid fork aero bars negative stem and also Bigger Chainring with a Slick Tires Also known as Time Trial Mountain bike this setup is all about Aero Dynamics in version of MTB he is to hard sometimes to beat a simple Road bike when it's come to speed it's depends your pedalling.
I heard about it, so I have a question, what's the point? Road bike still will be faster on the road because it's more aero and weights less.
Road Bike Much Faster but not at all time Hybrid bike even if slack Geometry but if you Put some Bigger Chainring and used Slick Tires aero Bars also Lightweight Frame and Bladed Rigid Fork are Also faster than regular Road Bike Old Stock MTB are slower but if you have a hybrid you will also upgrade your Speed.
Love my Genesis Tour 're Feu touring bike.
i have a mountain bike it has rear gears and i mostly use it for flat roads or street roads. i remember one time i was peddling and in the rear something clicked very hard and it must of been the gears that switched from one of the big gears down to the low gears(keep in mind i dint manually switch the gears and that my peddling and hard pushing of the pedals caused more force on the chain and forced it down a gear) is there a way to get the best speed on flat/street roads and which gear should i keep it at? could someone help me with this problem? should i keep the back gears on the small gears? or the big gears
missed out the best kind... dutch bike! so easy to climb on and you sit on it so nicely, standing upright, not ducking down like you're racing when really you're going to pick up milk.
The first 2 are all that matter to me...question is, which one to ride today? Do I want sore legs or sore arms?
While pedaling a recumbent, you can't say: I'm not lying!
I'm curious, as an MTB user who rides on the road, what does it feel like to use a gravel bike?
Is it a middle ground bikes that sit between MTB and the road bike?
I too would like to know as someone who's riding a MTB on the road as well. I'm looking at getting a hybrid for that middle ground, small amount of suspension for the UK pothole filled roads and for a bit more speed too with the occasional off road beaten path adventures.
@@Metalshark100 get a hybrid or a gravel, you don't really need suspension for potholes. Big, but slick tyres are the way to go for rough city and ocassional off road. I put dropbars on my specialized roll, and it's pretty much a gravel/city perfect bike.
@@gabrielcollazos6258 I'm planning on getting a trek dual sport, do you think this would be good?
I'm here to represent the mighty bakfiets cargo bike! My yuba Supermarche is the family pick up truck of bikes.
And all this time I thought the Wright brothers invented the bicycle.
Great fun video to watch... I don't understand why nobody separate "Time Trial" bikes and "Triathlon bike"
It's crazy when triathletes call their vessel "Time Trial bike" which completely different in engineering perspective!?
🤔
Yes Xmalchik, and "Time Trial" don't got a water bottle on them and is a 1 hours ride, when "Triathlon bike" got 1 or 2 special aero water bottle and snacks compartment on them and made for long rides 2-4 hours.
You want to be that picky I could say a time trial bike is a velomobile, because those are races in tt’s too. I disagree they are not that different. That’s why most brands use the same base bike for uci legal and not.
The outline of the bmx bike on the Cover is a slopestyle bike
I'm new here.. Just wanted to say great video
