Dude I agree with some of that and totally disagree with some you should have just talked from your personal experience as I did. Some of what you say was opposing what I have found riding my bikes back to back but I dont think you read what I said properly and what you've said is not related to me.
My hybrid is no ordinary one and is comparable with almost any road bike except when traveling at 50+kph though sweeping corners and straight down hills, the narrow road bars are no comparison to wider flat bars when at lower speeds through the city dodging cars and people and narrow pathways.
All the contact points on my roadbike and hybrid are identical when I built my hybrid I paid close attention to achieving this only the bars are wider and it has bar ends this is what gives it the extra control and comfort.
My former hybrid was not the fit I liked and was part of the reason I put so much effort into my current bike.
Please dont be offended by my opposition to some of your opinions.
