HYBRID BIKE

Do you like a nice, easy ride? If you don't like rugged trails and you're not into racing, then this lightweight bike is perfect for you. You'll get a smoother ride for you guys out there who aren't serious bike riders. A hybrid is a combination of a mountain bike and a road bike. It was made for rough bike paths and for light off-road riding.

Hybrid bike

Frame: The frame is made of lightweight steel and aluminum. It was made for comfortable upright riding.

Gears: The hybrid has a fair amount of gears, because it is a combination. It has no ultra low gears like the mountain bike because you are not supposed to ride it on heavy, rugged terrain.

Tires: The hybrid has fairly big tires, bigger than most mountain bikes. The tires are pumped as much as they can and are definitely high pressure.

Brakes: The brakes on this bike are very sensitive and efficient. You can stop all of a sudden and not skid very much.

Wheels: The wheels on hybrids are thick. They are like mountain bike wheels, yet light, like a road bike.

Handle bars: The handlebars on hybrids are very upright which is very similar to the frame. The handlebars also have great traction and grip.
