Hey there. It totally depends on what you are willing to pay. Bikes are usually from $100-$250 in range. If you want to get a good bike, get a more expensive and brand name bike. Usually German bikes last long. If you want a cheap bike to learn on, then buy a cheaper bike from about $80-$100. Finding a good road bike that is around $80 is NEARLY impossible. But i would suggest to buy a good bike that is about $120-$150 because it doesn't take that long to learn how to ride a bike. I learned in one day, so if you buy a bike, might as well buy a good one that will last long instead of buying a bike that will break, causing you to waste more money.
Without knowing how much money you intend to spend on it the question can't be answered
If you're a beginner, it's more about the support you can get than the bike that you buy. Get the bike from the store that seems to be most helpful to a rookie, and are willing to tell you about bike fitting, test rides ASO:
On average, a road bike is faster than a mountain bike by about 25 due to its lighter weight and smoother tires.
With only $100, you're not even going to be able to get a good used bike.
A road bike is faster on the road than a mountain bike. That's all
Look for road bike shoes with 3-bolt cleat compatibility for your new road bike.
If you haven't ridden a bike before at all I'd suggest that you don't start with a fixie. If you already know how to ride, and want to take up fixie riding, then go for a bike with front + rear brakes and good pedal-to-ground clearance(=short cranks).
a 56cm road bike is a road bike that the frame is 56 Cm. if didn't full fill you answer I'm sorry:
No, it is not recommended to put mountain bike tires on a road bike for off-road cycling as road bikes are not designed for off-road terrain and may not have the necessary clearance for wider tires.
Road bike tires should typically be inflated to a pressure between 80-120 psi for optimal performance.
