I started laughing when I first read this, but then I thought--you know, why are there so many handlebars and that's when I really started laughing because it occurred to me that I didn't know .

About hybrid bikes, though--most people think that hybrids aren't a great idea because, like all compromises, they want to be two different things at once. It's not a road bike, so it can't be a great road bike, and it's not a mountain bike, so it can't be a great mountain bike, so it's kind of an ok road bike and kind of an ok mountain bike.

I don't know if there's a FAQ for answers to the types of questions you have, but I think you will start generating some replies in asking here .
