A go (just about) anywhere do anything bike is the right choice for a lot of people.


Amen.
Hybrids are the answer for most people. In these days of labels for everything, a hybrid is what we used to call "a bike". In 2009 , when mrsbrowngw and I purchased new Giant Cypress's they renewed our love for cycling. We donated our old mountain bikes to some grandchildren and proceeded to use our hybrids as much as possible. Now we each have a folder, she has a modern 4130 "Dutchie", I have the Salsa Vaya touring but the hybrids are still our "goto" bikes. They are currently being readied for next weeks adventure on Pelee Island. We will camp on the mainland and take the ferry to the island. @Jaeger99, what part of Ontario do you hail from?
