What is a hybrid bike?

What is a Hybrid bike: Well, almost any definition would be accurate for one person...But the one I use is "a bike that is between or combines the attributes of two or more types of bikes". Typically applied to such as a "commuter bike" which is somewhat a tourer, somewhat a mountain bike and somewhat an urban bike. Thus a commuter "Hybrid" bike has a strong but comfortable frame, aggressive brakes and wide gearing, a comfy saddle, upright or swept back bars, fenders, braze-on mounts, at least one if not two racks, strong lighting, a computer/GPS, etc. Adjust the definition to fit your desires after you get the basic idea. Definition implies that you have to decide. Thus if you have something specific in vision, but just buy something labeled as a Hybrid, you may be rather disappointed. Note that changing a bike you have into the bike you really want can double the total cost, so shop with the details in mind. I often suggest folks make a exhausting list of features desired and then add 4 or 5 columns to the right for you to grade a few bikes with check-marks or numeric scores. Then just correlate and compare. For what it is worth, the Northwoods Springdale is somewhat of a hybrid and a quite nice one at the entry level price point. I bought it for my wife and she liked it. After 3 years of ownership, I haven't found any real shortfalls or need to add much in the way of accessories beyond lights, an extra bottle, a pump, a under seat bag, a folding spare tire, and a small tool kit. Hope that helps.

I have a Trek mountain bike and Marin Sea Drift hybrid bike and have not had any problem. This product is a must if you don't want any part of your bike missing.Great product to purchase. I highly recommend it.Rose - Albany, CA

I have not figured that out yet. It's a lot more bulky than I thought. Also, the "universal hitch" is not "universal". My bike shop can not figure out how to get it attached to my Giant Hybrid Bike...so it sits because I would of had to pay a restock and postage fee. Not impressed!

I have the same setup on my mid-range Specialized hybrid... I didn't think there would be enough threads either but it was fine. I also purchased a second hitch to my son's Gary Fisher mountain bike and it worked fine too.

Nice tire but rated at 80PSI. Better suited for a hybrid. I prefer higher PSI for my commuting bike.

From what I found Jeep offers different bicycle under different names. If you need a larger frame, you will not find it in this hybrid style of bicycle under the Jeep brand name.

I do not know what the hybrid means. Mine came in a genuine Otterbox case and was identical to my first otterbox except my first one was all black and this one is pink and purple. I cannot tell any difference in the two and I ordered my first one directly from Otterbox and my recent one through Amazon.

I have a road bike and hybrid on mine so two road bikes should be no problem.

I replaced the stick handlebar on a hybrid bicycle with this handlebar. This handlebar provides several more hand positions than a traditional mountain bike handlebar. I covered it with Grab On grips for more comfort on bumpy roads.

This is classified as an Electric Bike. You will need to check with your local DMV on requirements.

I looked at the pictures of the Vilano bike and I can see where the difference in price is. It looks like you would pay more, and you will get more. I own the "Hybrid Performance Bike", and it is doing what I was wanting it to do.

fixed speed bikes take the 1/2 x 1/8 chain and multi-speed bikes take the 1/2 x 3/32 chain. I believe your hybrid is a multi-speed bike, so should use the 1/2 x 3/32 chain. You may have to adjust the length you may need a chain breaker tool? Hope this helps.

Unless your bike has really weird geometry, it should fit. It fits other hybrid bikes without a problem.

I have a women's hybrid bike and I'm 5'3". The bar that it comes with was too long for my bike so it didn't work out for us.

The tires are too narrow for any gravel or lose rocks. They will also sink into any lose or wet soil. Better to go with a hybrid.

My bike is a hybrid and I have no trouble with tire "cups". I have however mounted my son's mountain bike on the rack with no problems. I love this rack and rarely remove it from my vehicle because it is so convenient and accommodating.
