When thinking about buying a hybrid bike then it is wise to learn first about the features of the bike and the build. This applies even more so if you are a first-time buyer.
The hybrid bike is a mix of road bike and mountain bike. They tend to be nicely sturdy and strong enough to be ridden both on road and off. To get a further understanding of the bike though, we should look more in detail at some of the main elements, which are the wheels, gears, the frame and handlebars.

Gears
Gears
The gears are a good mix of both bike breeds - mountain and road. This will offer a good range of gear ratios but of course is somewhat depending on price. With a nice range of ratios you have the choice and ability to handle up hill climbs or flat road speed.
Handlebars
The handlebars represent more the mountain bike, being shoulder width, which allows for the rider to sit in an upright position for comfort and visibility. As such you have real control of the bike movement.
Wheels
Wheel rims and the spokes tend to be more similar to a road bike, very light weight. Thus it tends not to be wise to do very heavy duty off road riding.
The rims of the wheels and the spokes are light weight thus its not sensible to do heavy duty off road riding for fear of damaging the wheels.
Its ideal for road riding both for short and longer distances, while at the same time can be happily used for light off-road use too.
Its wise to research the brand that you have developed an interest in before making your purchase. There are minor details in every brand that can be a little different from another.
If you have any particular questions or you are unsure about something, always contact the retailer whom you would be buying from for advice, rather than finding out something that is unsuitable about the hybrid bike once you have made your purchase.
