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.
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.
