About Hybrid / City Bikes

Hybrid bikes are bicycles designed for general-purpose utility or commuter cycling on paved and unpaved roads, paths, and trails. Also known under such names as City bike or Commuter bike, the hybrid takes design features from both a road and mountain bike, with the goal of making a robust bike for general commuting and transportation. In general, hybrids use the mountain bike's triple chainset together with the mtb bars giving a more upright position than found on a road bike, making them great for city and leisure use. They also use a 700C wheel diameter for higher speeds, but use a wider rim and tyre for increased strength when used on canal paths or for light trail use, other items used from mtb's are the brakes, with disc or v-brake being chosen.
