Nice bikes! I think 007 is winning, in case anyone's keeping score. Haha, just kidding, but that Trek is trick.

Flat bars are good for riding around the block and for shorter trips... when you spend 6-8 hours in the saddle you will want more hand positions.
Last Monday I did 100 km into a stiff headwind and still averaged 25 kmh... I came off the bike feeling great and could not have done that without the extra hand positions drop bars provide.

From a marketing standpoint the term "hybrid" has a far narrower definition and most people associate hybrid with the types of bikes that have already been posted here.

Several of my mtb's have road tyres, touring geometry, and drop bars and by definition are also hybrids since they utilize multiple technologies.
From a marketing standpoint the term "hybrid" has a far narrower definition and most people associate hybrid with the types of bikes that have already been posted here.
Let me skew the demographic here...

65'er - Trek isn't calling the carboniferous 7.9 FX a Hybrid anymore. They finally figured it out: Their warranty would drown 'em in debt when people went off-roading on the carbon 7.9.
The 7.9 FX is now a road-bike.
Wait a Boll-Weevil second - which Trek is that??
