Hybrid bike as a transport for a pleasant walk

Hybrid bicycles are something in between "Tourist", "Satellite" and "Sport", but with the addition of some new parts that make this mode of transport more functional.

This means of transportation is obtained, for example, as a result of connecting mountain and road bicycles. It is the best option for walking around parks, driving around the city and even traveling.

For fans of racing and extreme this mode of transport will not be entirely appropriate, because strong and constant strikes will clearly not appeal to him.

The wheel diameter of such a bicycle is 28 inches or more, and the width of the tires is about 38-40 mm. Thanks to such indicators, movement on this type of transport is greatly facilitated.

Often, a hybrid bike is equipped with wheels measuring 700C (622 mm). Not always tires have a deep protector. In addition, such tires during driving on a smooth hard surface produce too much noise, and the quality of the brakes while turning leaves much to be desired. All these nuances worsen the maneuverability of transport.

If the hybrid bike is not equipped with a trunk, then this means of transportation is intended for sports purposes.

Note that the steering wheel for this type of transport is direct. It can be adjusted in height. Typically, the saddle is installed on the seat post, equipped with shock absorption. Some models have mounting holes for:

• Disc brakes ;
• Accessories;
• Trunks.

This type of transport is very reliable also because it is equipped with a solid frame. It is made of pipes - steel or aluminum.

Such bicycles are produced with women's and men's frames. If it is 1 inch larger than a mountain bike, then such a vehicle can be called the optimal option from existing ones. Most models are designed to prevent dirt from getting on your clothes.

Many hybrid bicycles can be converted. On the market there are models with a rigid fork. Simplify the acceleration and overcome the rises will help just such a vehicle. Many models are equipped with short-stroke amortization forks.

Hybrid bike has many advantages:

1. Versatility.
2. Speed.
3. Acceptable price.
4. Light weight (13-16 kg).

Speaking about the negative features, it can be noted that it is very difficult to ride in off-road conditions.

The implication is that a hybrid bicycle is a great way to travel around the city, highway or dense ground. For long trips it can be equipped with:

• Trunks;
• Bag under the frame;
• Tires with a deep protector.

A simple design is easier to repair in the field.

If you plan to ride in the city, in the country or just travel on direct roads, it is better to buy a hybrid.

If you want extreme, for example, to travel along the Caucasus or Crimean mountains, to explore the Solovetsky Islands, then you will be approached by a mountain bike.
