In general, hybrid bikes are considered the most suitable for commuting and recreastional riding. Hybrid bikes combine features of both road and mountain bike, with the category split into three different styles – Hybrid Comfort, Hybrid Sport, and Flat-Bar Road. Hybrid Comfort bikes feature a relaxed, upright seating position, with some models offering suspension forks. These are great for fitness and leisure, and can be used for some light off road riding. Hybrid Sport bikes are similar to Hybrid Comfort bikes, however they are a little more aggressive in their styling to allow for more off-road use and a more efficient riding position. Hybrid Sport bikes are fantastic for longer rides on bike paths, commuting to work, or touring over long distances. Flat-Bar Road bikes are similar to the traditional drop-bar road bike, with flat handle bars providing a more upright seating position, and improved handling at low speeds. They also feature wider tires than traditional road bikes, making them more suitable for going off curbs and gutters.
