	Sheldon Brown's Bicycle Glossary Ho-Hy
		Hybrid bicycles, also known as "cross" or "fitness" bicycles are a cross between a mountain bike and a touring bike.
		Hybrid gearing is the use of both derailer and internal gearing on the same bicycle.
		It is also particularly well suited to bicycles with smaller than usual drive wheels, because the high range(s) of the internal gear eliminate the need for unusually large chainwheels to compensate for the small wheels.

		Road-racing bicycles vary in weight depending on the materials used, but they generally weigh about 8 kg (18 lb); track-racing bicycles, which are stripped of brakes, gears, and other expendable parts, may weigh as little as 6 kg (13 lb).
		The traditional “bicycle built for two” is operated by a captain, or front rider, who controls the steering and the brakes, and by a stoker, or rear rider.
		The basic equipment on a bicycle includes a lightweight frame of thin tubing; wheels (usually spoked) with inflatable tires; an adjustable saddle or seat; brakes for stopping; handlebars for balance and steering; and a drive train, usually consisting of a continuous chain driven by foot pedals, for propelling the bicycle.

	Hybrid bicycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 2005 Giant Innova is an example of a typical 700C hybrid bicycle.
		A hybrid bicycle is bicycle designed for use on roads and bike paths, with influence from both the road bicycle and the mountain bicycle.
		A road-biased hybrid has a frame similar to a racing or touring bicycle, and 700C-size wheels with slick or semi-slick tires between 32 and 40 mm wide.

		Since the term "hybrid" can be a very general term and apply to a number of different combinations, there are a few other kinds of hybrid bikes that I have found to be very nice.
		These hybrid bikes still have the 700X35c tires but they usually don't have the shocks or adjustable handlebars, are lighter and geared closer to (or sometimes the same as) a road bike.
		Many of the bicycle sites that you find on the internet will have detailed descriptions and prices for the hybrid bicycles that they manufacture or sell but will not actually sell the hybrid bicycles online but will refer you to a local dealer or one of their own bike shops.

		The children's bicycle is sized based on the diameter of the wheels, such that the sizes available are 12, 16, 20, 24, 26, and 27 (inches).
		Although these bicycles are designed to be used on the worst of terrain, many people enjoy the durability and use these bicycles on paved roads for leisure and as a mode of transportation.
		Hybrid bicycles are designed to combine the comfort of riding an trail bicycle with the wider tires that are on road bicycles.

	Hybrid bicycles- are they for you? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Hybrids used to be considered bikes that were capable of a little bit of everything, but nothing really well.
		Hybrids have similar gearing to road bikes, so you don't "run out" of your higher-speed gears when you're going downhill or have a tailwind.
		The hybrid's 700c wheels are great for road and bike path use, but they're not going to steer you out of big ruts.

	The Difference Between Touring Bikes & Hybrid Bicycles - Cycling
		Hybrids can be very similar to mountain bikes, but can also be designed with the features of a touring/racing bicycle.
		Hybrids typically use the varied gear ratios that are commonly found on mountain bikes.
		Hybrid bikes can also be built to be used like touring bikes, adapted to carry luggage for instance, but tend not to be built to go as fast under such conditions as their touring counterparts.

	PETER RICH'S VELO SPORT BICYCLES - Bicycles for Women by Peter Rich
		Also, if the riderâs bicycle is carrying a child in an over-the-rear-wheel child seat, then a step-through design makes sense, both for mounting and supporting the bicycle at a stoplight, etc. The womenâs step-through bicycles, both hybrid or mountain, with full size wheels, tend to be more compact, saddle to handlebars, than so-called âmenâs bicyclesâ.
		Often when women who range in height from short to average height are fitted to a bicycle and seem to achieve the proper saddle height they find the bicycle, saddle to handlebars, to be too long because of their shorter torso length.
		Standard middle size road bicycles, 22â for example, tend to have top tubes and seat tubes of approximately the same length, suitable for perhaps a man 5â10â, but generally the top tube is too long for a woman 5â10â.

	Hybrid Bicycle Cambridge Massachusetts Boston
		A hybrid bicycle is a compromise between a mountain bike and a road bike.
		Hybrids have a road bicycle frame and wheels but are geared low with a straight handle bar.
		Hybrid bicycles use mountain bike gears (“27-speed”, with 3 gears front and 9 gears in back) and a straight handle-bar to make riding hills easier, but the frame and wheels are lighter and more narrow; more like a road bike.

		Hybrid bike is similar to an e-bike because they both assist the rider with a second power source.
		The hybrid engine is a combination of electric motor with a power source, and a means to recharge that power source from energy within the system.
		To explore level of energy a hybrid electric bicycle can utilize from regenerative braking, proper understanding of the energy usage in a riding situation is necessary.

		Road racing bicycles: Designed for use on paved roads (opposed to track-racing bikes designed for tracks), road racing bikes are designed for speed.
		Hybrids allow riders to sit in a more comfortable upright position than mountain bikes, lightweight frames make them perfect for use on pavement, and they can handle light off-roading on dirt and gravel.
		Nostalgic or retro bicycles: With a banana seat and high handlebars, lowrider bikes are a blast from the past.

	Road bicycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A road bicycle is a bicycle designed for use primarily on paved roads, as opposed to off-road terrain.
		Hybrid bicycles are a compomise between mountain bicycles and road bicycles: they have a road frame and wheels but are usually geared low with a straight handle bar for a more upright riding position.
		Recumbent bicycles, which typically have the pedals forward and a seat with a full or half back, so that the rider assumes a seated or even reclined position while riding, are most often designed for on-road use.

	Hybrid vehicle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Diesel-electric locomotives may not always be considered hybrids, not having energy storage on board, unless they are fed with electricity via a collector for short distances (for example, in tunnels with emission limits), in which case they are better classified as dual-mode vehicles.
		Hybrids other than electric-internal combustion exist, for example hydraulic and pneumatic hybrids, where compressed fluids and compressed air, respectively, are used for energy storage with regenerative braking.
		Hybrid drivers also benefit from a discount in their insurance if they are insured with "MORE TH>N" who recently announced a discount for hybrids drivers in the UK of up to 13 per cent.

	Hybrid bicycles at Island Cycle Parksville
		Influenced by both the road bicycle and the mountain bicycle the hybrid is an ideal bicycle for someone who wants to ride on the roads mostly, but have a bike that is stable enough to handle trails too.
		A relatively recent type of bicycle, the hybrid aims to retain the features of mountain bicycles which have made them accessible and popular, but are a more efficient bicycled much more suitable for urban use than a mountain bike.
		This additional tire width over a road bicycle is intended to give the hybrid some ability to deal with rough surfaces that might be encountered on bike trails, such as gravel, hard-packed sand and shallow mud.

	mtn or hybrid? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Current hybrids are built with short top tubes and taller stems, while a high-quality mountain bike attempts to get a bit more of your weight on the front wheel so the shock can work better.
		A hybrid is better at high speeds on the road, due to the lower rolling resistance of skinnier 700c tires, and also due to its higher gearing.
		For hybrids, we've got a few Gary Fisher Alfrescos left at $529, which is a relatively "conventional" model with a very lightweight USA-made frame and somewhat beefier wheels and tires than the average hybrid.
