What is the diff between bikes???
What is the diff between a road and a touring bike? Are they the same animal? Where does the urban bike fit in. I think I have the BMX and MB figured out, but the others are confusing. I did find a great bike site which was useful -- US map and all. It tells you where to find trails, etc. Check it out. https://visualsearch.dogpile.com but I would rather ask you experts!!!
Thanks....

-road bike is for racing. Steep angles, lighter frame materials, light wheels.
-touring bike is for touring. Relaxed frame, sturdier construction (to accomodate higher loads), tougher wheels, cantilever brakes.
