There are various types of bikes used for triathlons. You want one you are comfortable with, but you also need one that allows you to keep up with the rest of the pack. Most bikes used are racing bikes, which are built to optimize aerodynamics. You should use a bike that reduces wind resistance and most bikes use handle bars known as aero bars to do this. Other parts of the bike such as the frame, the tubes and the wheels should also be designed with this in mind to help create a smaller overall wind profile. Make sure your bike is lightweight and that you have an air pump on it and know how to fix a flat tire. It's also important that your seat is at the right height to maximize your pedaling.
