What do you think about treks 7100
ty ler_derden said:I think hybrid bikes are not really intended for off-road riding. For most people they are better than "road" bikes because they tend to have fatter tires (translation: fewer flats), beefier frames that can withstand potholes and other road bumps, and a more comfortable upright riding position than road bikes.
I have a Cannondale H400 that's about 10 years old and still going strong. I have tried off road riding a couple times with it, but the narrow tires have a tendency to sink into loose dirt. I have used it mainly for commuting and it is nearly perfect for that purpose. I rarely have to fix flat tires, I can haul a ton of stuff on it, and it has all the necessary lugs for mounting racks and fenders. It would be a very good touring bike.
