Hello there,

I'm pretty new to cycling so I'm looking for some advice on which is the better option for me. I'm currently commuting via train and I've discovered I could save £6 a week (plus petrol costs - driving to the station) if I cycle up the coast and jump on the ferry. The journey itself would take longer but it's a nice route and I think the morning sea air would be a great way to start the day.

The route is a mixture of roads but mostly offroad and I'm thinking a hybrid might be the best option for this. Here's an idea of the ground I'm looking to cycle on:



Would a hybrid be best? Or should I look at more MTB?
