Hybrid Bikes
Hybrid bikes were originally developed as a compromise between
lean fast road bikes,
and chunky, strong, but heavy, mountain bikes.
However, since their initial development, hybrid bikes have developed in their own
distinctive direction, and are today sturdy comfortable bikes suitable for riding around town
or country, and also capable of taking a fair amount of punishment.
For those people who find the riding position of road bikes
to be uncomfortable, hybrid bikes are a great alternative.
Hybrid bikes have straight handlebars and
a high front-end, which together provide an upright riding position, and brake-levers and gear shifters
which are accessible without taking your hands way from the handlebars. Fairly large wheels
(larger than mountain bikes) also help provide
a steady ride when travelling over uneven road surfaces or potholes.
Here are some hybrid bikes:
