Hybrid Bicycles offer the most comfortable bike ride on the road, while still offering higher speed and reduced effort than cycling a mountain bike on the road.
A Hybrid Bicycle can be used for cycling to work, cycling to shops, or as a bike for regular journeys such as evening cycles, bringing your kids to school, or taking in the scenery.
With a more relaxed geometry, hybrid bicycles offer the most comfort for cycling, and come with tyres that are more narrow than your typical mountain bike. This makes it easier to cycle with reduced rolling resistance from your wheels, meaning that less power is lost when transferring from your bike's pedals to it's wheels.
In comparison to a road racing bicycle, a hybrid bicycle has flat handlebars with separate mechanisms for braking and controlling your gears.
If you are new to cycling, and want a bicycle that provides a good balance between comfort and performance, then a hybrid bike is ideal. However, if you want a bike to begin racing and training for increased fitness, then a road racing bicycle may be more suitable for you.
