>>1819473I like my hybrid. Best bike to get into cycling.
>comfy riding position and saddle even without bib (you are going to start without gear so thats good)>large flat handlebar gives confidence in maneuvering and braking.>usually fitted with fenders and top rack. For winter or rain days.>easy and cheap to replace components.>large and thick tires. Safe and smooth downhill at speeds above 50 kmh. never got a puncture.Mine was 700 and came with a basic suntour fork and shimano hydro brakes. Never had wrist pain either on bad roads or simple relaxing offroad path.
You know the real issues with those tipe of bike? they are heavy so prepare yourself for climbing slowly.
Im going to purchase a proper road bike (already purchased an offroad) soon because after some time you will understand the limitations of this type of bike, and will want more both on or off-road.
But at the beginning you will have good fun with it.
