I'm not sure if the name is the same everywhere - a hybrid bike to me is halfway between a commuter / road bike and a hardtail mountain bike. It's fair to say that a hybrid is a Jack of all trades but a master of none, as a road bike will be faster and less effort to ride on hard surfaces, and a mountain bike will be tougher and better set up for off-road use. But for someone who who wants to ride the same bike over a variety of everyday terrains, a hybrid may suit. Some have suspension forks and some do not, and some have chunkier tyres than others. From what you say, I would probably be looking at suspension forks, but avoid very chunky tyres.-R</blockquote>
