This is a Hybrid Bicycle. This bike borrows most of the popular
features from other bikes, resulting in a multi-functional bike.
The main purpose of this bike is to provide riders with comfort for long
rides while being able to handle mild off-road conditions.
The tires are tall and skinny like a road bikes, but Hybrid tires have a little more grab to them. They are not as knobby as Mountain Bike Tires, but not smooth like Road Bikes either.
Most notable on the Hybrid Bicycle are the handlebars. You will notice them to be more upright than other bikes. This puts the rider in a more upright position, contributing to a posture that will not tire as quickly. This does however, put more weight of the rider on the seat, so make sure you find a seat that will give you the comfort you are looking for.
Summary- The hybrid bike gives you a
lot of the main benefits from other bikes. If you are going to be
biking on a lot of bicycle trails, this is probably the type of bike you
would want. Designed for comfort on a long ride, this is the type
of bicycle that I currently ride.
