I’ve been checking out our latest poll and I’ve found interesting how close the results are. In case you haven’t voted because you are not sure on what category your bike falls under, here’s a little help:
Fixed Gear: Track bikes, bikes with flip-flops, conversions are OK too.
Mountain Bike: Bikes that are designed to go off-road, hardtails, Full Suspension or rigids.
Commuter Specific:Although most of these bikes have a mountain Bike frame, they usually come with fenders, racks, lights, bells and street tires.
Road Bikes: Bikes with Drop bars or flat bars with 700cc wheels. Road bikes can be singlespeeds or multi-geared bikes. You can add your cyclocross bike to this category.
Hybrid Bikes:Also called comfort bikes. These bikes can feature front suspension forks and a suspension seatpost.
Other: Folding bikes, Trikes, Tandems, unicycles, recumbents and Beach Cruisers.
I know most of you may have more than one bike, just pick your favorite, and thanks for voting.

Asides from the Flat bars and the trigger shifters, this thing rides, feels and handles like a road bike. Check out Wikipedia’s entry on Hybrid Bikes:
