How to Buy a Hybrid Bike

Video Transcript

"Now I'm going to talk about How to buy a Hybrid. There's two different styles of Hybrid's out, there's this which is a comfort hybrid, it's a little bit heavier, it's got easier gearing, suspension forks, big cushy seat, this is definitely, more for the weekend warier, the person that's going on bike paths, dirt roads, stuff like that. When you're looking at hybrid's you want to look for a 700C wheel, but not a road bike narrow tire, you want a thirty eight inch or wider tire on the front that's going to give you a softer ride. This is the other style hybrid, it's a more road friendly hybrid, this is something most people use for commuting. It's got the same size 700C wheels, twenty one speeds, it's a little faster, lighter weight, and you can put racks, pin your bags and more accessories on something like this. Both of these hybrids also, come with adjustable stems on them, which is a nice feature because you can kind of custom fit the frame, and the length of the reach you have, from the arms to the seat, to right where you want to be."
