A lot of people seem to buy bikes based on what is fashionable. If you are just going on road, a mountain bike with 2 inch wide knobbly tyres is really slow and hard work. The newest fashion over here is single speed bikes, maybe next it will be solid rubber tyres and penny farthings.If you do decide to go for it please don't be one of those people that buys a bike with a suspension. Unless you are doing actual mountain biking there is no need. It is just extra weight and something else that can go wrong.
Maybe Loosie can combine both his sports, dive to bottom then start riding his bike.Best place to start is swimming.
Funny how bells work on the MUPS. You can yell out "on your left" and the ped will almost always move to (you guessed it) his left. But ring a bell and they seem to instinctively move right.and a bell if your biking near pedestrians.
Yeah that is the problem.A lot of people seem to buy bikes based on what is fashionable. If you are just going on road, a mountain bike with 2 inch wide knobbly tyres is really slow and hard work.

<ed> I forgot about womens bikes with the low top tube, no idea why they exist, they are weaker and heavier than the standard geometry. </ed>
I ride a hybrid (aka city bike) because I prefer sitting upright to being bent over the bars on a racer. It's basically a lightweight mountainbike geometry frame with road bike wheels. Get a mirror, they are really helpful.
I remember having that happen a lot when I tried calling out "left" or "right" while closing on a slower snow skier in front of me, until I changed the warning to "I'm over here", which worked much better at preventing sudden turns into my path.Funny how bells work on the MUPS.

Maybe they think you ARE a cop ...The safety vest has made a tremendous difference from day one. Cars and trucks give me more space and respect on the road.
A hybrid is fine for the hills but I still prefer my road bike. A rear suspension is not worth it but so is a front suspension. There is no need for any suspension unless you are riding mountain trails.A hybrid bike would be very comfortable in an urban environment and ideal for exercise.
But what if you wanted to take a Saturday morning trek to the nearby hills? Mountain bikes can go in the city. City bikes can't go in the country.
I 'll admit though that a rear suspension isn't really worth it.
