A hybrid is a general type of bike and most bike companies make them. They are more suitable for general riding than say a road bike or a mountainbike which are bikes modified for specialist types of riding. If you haven't riden for some years I suspect you will recognise a hybrid as what you used to ride, but with more advanced design!

Hybrids are best for mixed riding like gentle trails or paved cycle routes. They can also be used for commuting or pottering about in town.

I ride my Trek hybrid mostly along canal towpaths.

As to size - you are best to get fitted at a bike shop.
