Hello, sorry for neglecting this factor. I will be riding on mostly roads and footpaths but without a doubt I will need to depend on performance on grass, grass hills in wet climates as well as dry. Not 'extreme' off roading terrain but wet grass where I believe full road slim tyres simply wouldn't do. I think hybrids have tyres in between these two extremes, which should work on wet grass adequately would you agree?

I was thinking a hybrid with front shock suspension would definitely make a difference for grass areas and the occasional kerb bumps?
