Should I Get a Mountain Bike with Slick Tyres or a Hybrid Bike?
If you want a road bike that you can still take on some trails and mess around with, you’ll need a mountain bike. Hybrids will be more comfortable for your commute, but they are strictly road bikes. A lighter, hard tail, cross country style mountain bike will do you just fine, and if you go with a nice, medium tread on the tires, you don’t even need to bother tire-swapping, unless you plan on participating in some races. The only thing I might suggest is raising up the handle bars to make for a more comfortable commute, and probably changing to a wider seat.
