 HYBRID BICYCLES |
Hybrids or cross cycles, are probably the most popular type of bike sold in the cycle market at present. They are called "hybrid", because they are a combination of road racing bikes and mountain bikes (mtbs). They try to combine the best elements of each type. Hybrids are the ideal bike for commuting through London's busy roads. We specialise in Ridgeback hybrids because we believe they offer best value with the latest technology. |
Hybrids usually have the larger (and faster) 700c size of wheel as seen on racing bikes, but they have wider rims to take fatter, more comfortable tyres. They don't come with drop handlebars, but instead have straight bars (like mtbs), which give a more upright riding position and provide extra stability. The brake levers and gear levers are, literally, to hand, giving the rider a feeling of security.

Hybrid bikes come in many variations. Some are speed machines, with
compact, lightweight rigid frames, with carbon forks and lightweight, narrow section wheels. Others are designed for comfort riding and come with suspension forks and seatposts and have more relaxed frame angles. Recent innovations include hub gears and disc brakes. |
Some hybrids come fully equipped with mudguards and pannier carriers. Hybrids, or cross bikes, (like all other types of bicycles) range from budget machines, usually made from hi-tensile steel frames and low-end components to high-performance lightweight cycles with aluminium frames and finely engineered components. |
