This might sound silly, but....
Ive always ridden mountain bikes but do fancy a roadie, however, coming from a MTB world can someone explain...
Where do road bike users keep their drinks? i use a camel bak, but i never see roadies with them, surley you must use more tham just one bottle?
Where do you keep the spare tube and tools? i know you can put a pump on the frame and use a saddle mount for a small bag, but again i never seem to see these, also, adding weight doesnt seem to be the thing to do.
Is there an alternative to lycra? i wear baggy 3/4 shorts normaly, this would probably look silly on a road bike.
Lastly, why do you like a road bike, for me getting out on a mtb gets me out in the fresh air and with nature, a roadie, hmmm diesel fumes and cars? I like the idea of a light and fast bike, just not sure of what i would do with one. Cycle clubs are quoting +40 miles and 16 - 20 mph average is that really possible? I couldn't keep up with that for 5 miles, so the club thing would be a no go i think.
