description.

21 It is suitable for young riders. It combines small wheels with high-rising handlebars
and an elongated seat.

22 It is designed for heavy-duty uses, such as delivering newspapers. Because of its weight
and wide tires, it is harder to pedal than other bikes, especially uphill.

23 It is a sturdy bike that is suitable for travel on or off the road. It has straight handlebars,
knobby tires, 18-21 speeds, cantilever brakes, aluminum alloy rims, and a strong frame.

 24 It is meant for either racing or touring. Its drop handlebars lower and streamline the rider’s position, which
decreases air resistance.
