Bike Information

I have a Hybrid that have owned for a few years. I brought it without knowing a lot about bikes. However, i love my Hybird bike. After reading post on this site i am wondering if I made the best choice? I want to start communting to work this week.

My question, can you commute on a Hybrid? Whats the difference with a rode bike commute?

Hybrids are perfect for commuting, especially if you like yours.

I think many people would prefer to commute on a hybrid. Road bikes are typically harder to install racks, fussier about potholes and nasty stuff in gutters (glass, debris) and if you have to use a sidewalk to get to your building, harder to deal with curbs, etc. I broke out my mountain bike when I tried commuting.

My commuter is a hybrid. I would only use a road bike to commute if I had a very long commute.

Most hybrids are PERFECT for commuting! Which one do you have?

Agreed--hybrids make excellent commuters! They're less fussy than road bikes and not quite so heavy as mountain bikes.
