Which bike in my circumstances?
Ever heard the phrase "do one thing well or two things badly" I seem to apply this logic to most things in my life. Perhaps this is just me being a male and that I habitually struggle to do two things at once, but I prefer to think it's down to choice and conditioning.
I also consider that this mentality has, on a global scale spawned a few of the world's most questionable inventions. The Washer-Dryer, fundamentally does not operate, washing ok we'll give it that 1 but the dryers are generally useless. Gas and Barbecue, this can be just an outside cooker and defeats the struggle that's the present day day barbeque, where's the adventure? The chopstick fan to cool noodles before consumption, The telephone dumbbell to workout whilst functioning, the butter stick, visualize a pritstick created of butter..... the pizza fork , portion pizza slice portion fork. These are all actual and all truly stupid. Why not a Hybrid bikes?
So when I was initially introduced for the idea of the Hybrid bike, a cycle developed to become suitable for both commuting and off road use. The jury is properly and definitely out.
However I have been pleasantly surprised to find an exception to the rule, it's actually very good. I went for a test ride with the notion of buying one from my local cycle shop and was a little unsure at first. Im not for a second convinced that they are upto the challenge of a "good" thrashing but are more geared to a challenging jaunt to my local starbucks to read the paper.
They sit someplace among Road and Mountain, using a roadie, traversing curbs, the odd grassy mount or puddles present an issue, the hybrid bike can tackle this without having to a lot hassle. Mountain bikes have shorter gears so pro-longed exposure to extended flat tarmac terrain becomes challenging towards the Hybrid once again handles this a little better. It is efficiently the grey place that these bikes come into their very own.Personally for me personally hybrid bikes are nice close to town or inside the country side on a Sunday, if thats your bag, your sorted.
