Whats more practical Hybrid mountain bike or racing bike, my riding is done mainly on gravel/tar road? I would say a hybrid. For general pootering about it would be more comfortable than a racer. My riding is done in the sack, so any bike will do. lol Has to be a dirty one though. Just buy a quad, there a lot more fun anyways... Josh;) Would you use it mostly for commuting or just going out on rides? I've had my road bike for a couple of months and am not an expert but I wouldn't fancy riding it on gravel - not enough surface area on the tyre to stop sliding around. Tar is alright with a road bike though. I wouldn't ever go off-roading but at least with a hybrid you get the best of both world's - you can easily ride on bridleways/tracks as well as being comfortable on the roads. Road bike is really just for roads. Hope this helps a little! I proudly cycled to work on my Mountain Bike. Only to find that I was being passed by joggers on a windy day - on the flat at that! Thats an interesting question and I will try to give you a good answer. Let's start by saying that you left the town on a racer. you got out of the busy traffic and on to a long stretch of country road. You cruise along for half a mile and it's a old smooth road. Then you reach a part when the road is gritty and tar....It's not going to do those thin narrow tyres any good and you'll lose speed and time.. I would switch to a hybrid mountain bike. |
