Now if you are into road riding- then two choices. A hybrid that is a Road bike with straight bars- OR a road bike. On the Hybrid- most manufacturers have a model- Specialised Sirrus- Giant FCR-just to name a couple.

On the road bike and problems start- Do you need a relaxed geometry bike? Do you like riding with the body stretched out? Are you planning on just doing flat riding or will hills be involved?

Competition- race- comfort geometry. The choice is yours.
