A hybrid aluminium bike is best for commuting 😺🚵🏽‍♀️🆙 Ask me how
Comment from : She Rules

I’m enjoying the bike so far wwwyoutubecom/post/UgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA My only real complaints are the brakes and the pedals I feel like a bike designed for bigger people should have much larger pedals and more heavy duty brakes I’ve only gotten two really good rides out of it, minimal downhill action, and the brakes feel like they’re already going out A larger person has more momentum, so I think this wasn’t thought through very well Also, I wear size 13-14 wide shoes My feet cramp up on these pedals that are clearly made for smaller feet Since I’m not a pro rider (and I don’t think many are who purchase this bike) I don’t think that the straps on the pedal are necessary at all None of this takes away from the enjoyment I get from riding, however I’ll just head to a bike shop to improve on a few things

Comment from : BBENN

Regarding cumuttingI'll say it in three wordsmudguards mudguardsMUDGUARDS!!
Comment from : Bicycle camping lreland

Very much disagree on wider tyres being better Thinner tyres have much less rolling resistance, so the bike will be more efficient, making the cycle easier and quicker Most people cycle to work entirely on roads and paved paths, so negotiating gravel and cobblestones is quite low on the list of prioritiesbrbrThey don't need to be road-bike skinny, but I've always advised against mountain bike-width tyres for a commuting bike

Got a hardtail mtb, it's brilliant and I've been using it for commuting about 8 miles each way a day half city half barely lit bypasses, gonna be taking advantage of the cycle to work scheme and I'm certain and rigid gravel bike will be good for this, obviously I could go road as its mainly road I ride on when commuting but that bit every tyre width and purely looks of a gravel bike has sold me
Comment from : Drew Street

£50000 for a bike to cycle to work wtf I said a bike for work not a car

That Ribble bike has a nice handlebar, what model handlebar is that????????
Comment from : gusvortech

Folding bikes for sure 😁
Comment from : Rio Indrasakti

Consider single speed bike because:brLow maintenance,brCheaper,brMakes legs stronger
Comment from : Aleksandr Pak

My trek 920 has served me well for past 2 years Disc brakes, Drop bars, racks front and back, 4 bottle cage holders, 29inch wheels and loads more Seriously worth checking out if your looking for something to carry luggage and kids, as you do
Comment from : Wyvern Lambi

Y not an old school steel road bike with simple chinese components They r really cheap n look cool but not "imma steal it" cool
Comment from : seoultrip

No just get a cheap steel bike with pannier racks
Comment from : Something real

Im about to get a Kona world bike Rasta, 3 speed internal nexus, I'm gunna go tubeless thinner tires, and maybe an external hollow bb, make it lighter, it's chromoly, $350 in good shape, I could put a few hundred in it, would like mechanical disc brakes as well
Comment from : Derek Davis

"Ladies" Dutch bike or Japanese mamachari is best in my opinion 😁
Comment from : Harsya Nawawi

Diskbrakes cause less maintenance? XD
Comment from : Die absolute Glücksküche

Rigid mtb with fat-ish tyres, 22-26 Bit higher wide bar Luggage racks Simple n tough, takes dropping off curbs n cushions a little bit when you go over gravel etc, but simple

Comment from : Chris Clark

Abaut categories and confusion I had exchanged my old Caprinae vintage MTB which I use since my childhood (unsaveably overused in the last 20+year) to a Riverside 500 Touring bike or not I was devestated It was a good lesson for my how much I don't need comfort and speed (I can easy go up to 30 km/h and keep it the flat plane) Now I search for a "swiss knife/jack off all trade Mountain bike" Please don't rush it like I do Ask around and try to rent first that kind bike I really regret I give away that bike I'm using áll terrain touringbrbrHope it helped

What about a hardtail? Someone with experience, plz help I moved to Munich Germany recently so
Comment from : Spiros Gal

Im more of an extreme sports young bmx urban commuter not your typical skinny tour de france person
Comment from : Steve00 Alt

It's 3 am and I own a bmx, what am I doing here?
Comment from : Astro

If you need special attire for a bike, it isn't a commuter bike Alu frames and disc brakes also are a pain for an every day use bike Drum brakes are vastly superior and steel frames last up to 3 times longer than alu
Comment from : Diggnuts

I use a hardtail mountain bike to commute because I love to go off road when I can My commute to work is only 5km one way so I'm not in a big rush I like to take my time and enjoy the ride
Comment from : Kevin

Hey thanks for the advice, i think i'll go for roadbike for the lightweight for casual and bike to work
Comment from : pradanakusuma

Old steel MTB plus mudguards and (semi)slick tyres are great too !

I bought a Fuji Shiloette, in 1991 single speed 700c coaster brake, flat bars works wonderfull as a commuter bike no cables, I added blinky lights for visibility did replace crank, original broke

I've used a hybrid for commuting for the last few years, but now that the pandemic has killed my commute, I'm going on a lot more 30-50 mile jaunts and have been looking to upgradeI'll likely keep my studded tires on the hybrid for winter biking (snow and ice are the norm here for six months of the year) and add either a gravel or road bike for the warmer weather
Comment from : Aaron Propes

Look at the countries with a big cycling history like the Netherlands You'll want a herenfiets or damesfiets A bike with mudguards and a chain guard, so that you can bike in your regular clothes
Comment from : Gideon

BMC teammachine with dura ace di2 and ceramic speed bottom brackets and oversized pully wheels brThat’s the best commuter bike
Comment from : Archie Atkinson

Better bike for commuting? The one I have now! Lemond 2006 Robust, reliabe, beauty, light and fast
Comment from : Hugo Carlos

A cheap decathlon road bike with a good set of continental 4 Seasons tyres on it That's the best, because it will do everything you need it to do, it's cheap, robust and with the tyres safe in almost any weather conditions Also because it's a cheaper bike it's less likely to be a target of bike theft Buy a fancy bike and chain it up in a big city and you are likely to never see it again
Comment from : Reginald Scot

what about single speeds and fixie bikes?bralthough by modern standards they are more niche they offer little hassle and little to no maintenance making them perfect for those who are willing to deal with no having gears
Comment from : Kuma_Score

A single speed bike is the best for commuting

Hello, Thank you for the ongoing support for all Cycling endeavour :), Incredibly after having to Cycle for the past 31 Years due to health, I have recently purchased a New Bike that is too small, My Bike is an E-bike a 2019 Cube Touring Hybrid Easy Entry, that I am very fond of and am very much in awe of the sublime adventure it offers I am 5’115 and have a 50cm (Small Medium) and find that my arms are extended/ almost stretched to the handle bars which I have been raised with an Ergotec high charisma Stem, but my bottom is being pushed off the back of the seat and I’m unsure if a bigger bike is showing dimensions that will improve this area? Keep up the Good Work
