Comfort Bike
Oct/100
Is there a difference between a hybrid and a comfort bike? Is so, what is it?
thanks!
Hybrid bikes are designed as a mix between mountain bikes and road bikes. In theory, they are supposed to be more comfortable than road bikes, because they are more upright, and usually don't have dropped handlebars, and sometimes have a small-travel front suspension. And also, they are supposed to be faster than mountain bikes. Most hybrids are lighter than the equivalent mtb, have skinnier tires, and might be geared slightly higher for more speed. If you're thinking about really getting into cycling(more than 30 miles a week), I'd suggest getting a bike most like what you will be doing, be it road of mountain. I would not suggest getting a hybrid unless it's exactly what you need.
Comfort bikes are designed for just that, comfort. They are not designed for speed, riding trails, or going long distances. They have the most upright stance of any type of bike, have large thickly padded seats, highly curved handlebars, big cranks, and designed to be easy to mount/dismount. These are the types of bikes you might ride with friends at the beach or on a walking path.
Depending on what cycling means to you, either of these bikes could be fine. If you're looking for something to go pick up some quick groceries from the store, a hybrid is a great option. If you're looking to get some fresh air and enjoy the scenery at a nice slow pace, a comfort(also known as cruiser) bike could be perfect! But if you're really looking to get some exercise, you'd be best looking at bikes specifically made for what you want to ride(trails or road). In any event, if you're looking for a new bike, check out your local bike store and give all the types a test ride. Remember, having fun on your bike is what's most important.
Have fun!
