Everyone is different. Everyone is a freak.
^^ agree with him.
If you're looking to do some general riding to rehab a knee/leg then a hybrid wouldn't make a bad choice unless you want to really keep with it later - then an entry road bike may be a better bet. But the best thing to do is go down to your local bike shop (read NOT WALMART OR SOME BIG 'SPORTS' CHAIN STORE PLEASE) and sit and/or ride on several different style bikes. Maybe a mountain bike with street tires would be best - we aren't you - so go test them out.
