If your hybrid is anything like the one I had a long time ago it weighs a LOT, even though it probably has an aluminum frame. Don't tell me, it has a front shock too. Mine wasn't good for anything except maybe riding around a campground slowly.
I couldn't sell mine fast enough,(and that wasn't easy) once I found out about a nice steel bike that's 22 years old and costs less than that tank thing I had.
Hang around here for awhile and it will all become clear.
