For commuting and fitness cycling nothing beats a second hand hybrid and commuter bike for ease of use. These bikes often mix the fast rolling of a drop handlebar road bike with the comfort and stability of a mountain bike to make for an efficient bike for everyday use. Hybrid and commuter bikes tend to have a more upright riding position for better rider comfort and to help a rider look at the road or track ahead. A wide flat handlebar provides balanced steering and larger volume tyres than those found on a road bike help cope with rough surfaces and potholed roads. Commuter bikes are designed to be simple and convenient, with mountings for racks, mudguards and sometimes lights.
