Intended Use
All Bikes in this section are designed to be ridden on the road or well surfaced tracks.
The Riding Position
This is more upright than on a Mountain bike and will initially feel more normal i.e.: Higher at the front with less pressure on the wrists. The overall position is with the handlebars and the saddle roughly level.
The Frame
Frames are made from smaller diameter tubing and have bigger diameter wheels. The frame angles are steeper and the bottom bracket(cranks)is lower than a mountain bikes, so the frame size you will ride will be larger. Frame materials will be of Steel or Aluminium alloy.
Gearing
Town bikes or hybrids have a wide range of gears to get you up steep hills and down the other side quickly. Overall the gearing is higher than on a mountain bike and better suited to the road.
