Which Bike 4 me?

There are a number of different styles of bike available for you to buy currently. Sometimes, knowing which one will best suit your individual requirements is the biggest problem facing a potential buyer, and unless you are given realistic information about what each style is designed for you can easily end up with a bike which is largely unsuitable for your style of riding.
Here, we try to give you the low-down on what each style is good for, their strengths and weaknesses 

Mountain Bikes

A mountain bike (abbreviated MTB or ATB (all-terrain bicycle)) is a bicycle created for off-road cycling. This activity includes traversing of rocks and washouts, and steep declines, on dirt trails, logging roads, and other unpaved environments—activities usually called mountain biking. These bicycles need to be able to withstand the stresses of off-road use with obstacles such as logs and rocks. Wheels used on mountain bikes usually use wide, knobby tires for good traction on uneven terrain and shock absorption. Since the mid-1990s, front wheel suspension has become the norm and since the late 1990s, full front and rear suspension has become increasingly common.

Hybrid Bikes

Hybrids combine all the good bits of mountain bike construction with a more practical road set-up for easier cycling on the road, toepath, canal path or even through a hard packed forest trail like our very own Tullymore Forest. Hybrid bikes have really come to the forefront with the recent increase in urban and commuter cycling. With our range of Trek, Felt, Raleigh and Halycon Hybrid bikes we are sure to have something to suit all demands.
