What Bikes would be what cars.
I was thinking, what bikes would be what cars and this is what I came up with.
Road bikes = sedans
Cross bikes = rally cars
Mountain bikes= off road vehicles
Touring bikes= semi trucks
Tri-bikes = F1 vehicles
Vintage bikes= old classics
Fat bikes= monster trucks
Folding bikes= smart car
Hybrids bikes= SUVs
Just good for thought.

...I'm very happy with my Specialized S-Works for dry weather riding, but my Cannondale Mountain bike was pretty heavy and cumbersomeas a Wet/Winter beater. So I recently bought a Specialized Diverge Elite aluminum bike as a wet weather beater, and it rides nearly as nicely as the S-Works, so I'm very happy with the Diverge.
Now, the Cannondale is reserved completely for miserable studded-tire riding,and now I'm happy about that, and my riding needs are completely met. I liken my three bikes to a Lamborghini, a Lexus, and a Humvee. [see photos below]

I would say road bikes are the equivalent to sport cars, not 4 door sedans.

I would think the engine( rider) would dictate what kind of car could be compared to the bike. In most cars, there are different levels of horsepower making the same model sedate or sporty. Bike could be described the same way.
You can have a high dollar carbon bike with a little 4 cylinder ( old slow rider) and it would not be considered a Ferrarri .
Just my random thoughts on the matter. ( my mind wanders alot)

One that may not be totally accurate
Folding bikes = POS ..... in my experience ...... absolutely horrible thing to ride.
In fact I think that's just inspired another thread.

I'd call road bikes more in the sports car, or "sportier" car, and touring bikes covering from big 4 door sedans to small-ish RV's.
