Suggestions for a starter Hybrid Bike
Posted: Fri Jul 26, 2024 8:31 pm
Hi all, I have been looking extensively on Hybrid bikes for myself. Little background, havent’t ridden since I was a teenager. Sufficed it to say, I am the Jon Snow of bikes. I know nothing. I am now in my 40’s looking to do some casual riding with my young son. Mostly riding around the suburb, footpaths, grass and the occassional dirt road (not much really, bit ambitious ). I didn’t want a heavy mountain bike, I don’t plan on any off-roading, tricks or jumps at all (a bit ambitious of my husband for this one). If it’s heavy or too hard to go up the hill with it I won’t ride it and I’ll be wasting my money. It’s why I landed on hybrid, with the off chance MIGHT ride it in some dirt road on some national park somewhere. I have been looking second hand, just to ease myself into it. Looked at the following:
- Norco VFR4
- Giant Cypress
- Trek FX
I feel overwhelmed, I don’t know a lot of good brands that will last. Please give me your suggestions and advice! TIA!
