With summer fast approaching, the sun is shining, the warmth is setting in and the roads are ready to be explored. So, in honour of the better weather, here are six fantastic road bikes to get you out clocking up the miles on the roads and lanes of Yorkshire this spring.
As always, head into the Big Bear Bikes showroom for the full experience, to test ride the bikes, and see everything we have to offer.
Domane: Endurance First
The Domane range is built for endurance and comfort, while maintaining great performance. Not only is the Trek Domane a great range of bikes, it was the very machine ridden by the first women’s Paris-Roubaix winner Lizzie Deignan, from Otley, West Yorkshire last year.
