If you’re like me you enjoy mountain biking, but probably spend a fair amount of time riding your bike on pavement as well. Hybrid bikes are designed for just that purpose. These bikes are designed to handle the mountain as well as the potholes. Often the tires on these bikes are not as knobby and are flatter. They don’t produce quite as much hum when rolling over pavement. They still offer good traction on the hills. If you really need some more traction you can always change out your tires. They can also be lighter in weight which makes it easier to go a little faster on the pavement.
