For five years I enjoyed having almost 200 kilometers of mountain biking trails outside my front door. In the last year they've paved half of it, I'm sure it won't be long before the rest of it gone as well.

I would get a nice road bike to ride to work if it didn't involve two 400+ meter hill climbs. You're either going up or down the whole way and it's all twisty, so you don't make up any time on the downhills. That's the main reason I was looking at a little assistance from an electric. It's not the distance, it's the hills.

Lycra clothing.... nice

A hybrid bike is collaboration of the relieve and competence that both the hill and BMX motorbikes can provide. It is an advancement that has created motorbikes far more designed and innovative. In deciding on the right hybrid bike, you will need to analyze one. One factor that you need to do is to examine on the type of components used to know the functionality of the motorcycle.

I saw this at sinan mansions the over the weekend. It's pretty much exactly what I want to do, but I'd make it more stealth. Have the battery covered by a back seat and maybe put a storage box behind that to keep another smaller battery and the controller box inside. Maybe even get a custom scooter style seat to fit from and also cover the rear rack area.

hybrid bike is one that blends the best characteristics of both road and mountain bikes into a bike that is sturdy, comfortable and fast, and ideal for riding on streets and bike paths.

3 years later, finally found the right bike. Picked it up yesterday.

I waited 5 years for a bicycle manufacturer to get it right, Specialized delivered a home run on this one.

I did a pretty technical ride today. 12.8 miles, 2 hours (including a couple stops) 2800 feet of elevation gain and I still had 56% battery left when I got home.
