Showing my ignorance here.
I dont watch LOTS of cycle racing and my bike is a basic Giant with drop bars.
Watching tonight......sort of individual time trials.
1) the actual bikes. Are they specific to that type of cycling? ie double handlebars and wheels similar to those on track bikes
2) all the competitors are wearing long socks. Why?
Any other information appreciated.
Thanks
