Mountain Bike

I want to buy a new bike soon. I live in a very urban area, so initially I thought a road bike is best for me, but I'll need to use it when I go camping and stuff. If I'm going to need a bicycle for two roads and rugged terrain, is a mountain bike is my best choice?

I know that hybrids, but I was advised by many people that they are unnecessary and are not really great for anything, just ok for road and off road.

Nick, the most fanatical end of cycle with multiple towers. Most people I know have at least 3, road bike, mountain bike, drummer city. If you have a bike now, maybe that one is intended to be your drummer. slap some slicks on it, and clean the drivetrain. for your next race, if you want to ride single track, that your friends are right, get a hardtail MTB midrange. If you do not have a bike that can function as your drummer city, consider a cheep wheel together, and put the sheets on the subject. If you can not afford a second set of tires, not the axle, thats ok, it's just easier to work early release, rather than sharing a tire ..

You can get crossover tires put on the bike. They are perfect for road and mountain bike you love them. Good luck;)

Get a hybrid fitness, Trek 7.3 FX is the best bet for what you say, or Portland Trek. double wall rims and a strong but light aluminum frame.

get a mountain bike hard tail with a slight shock front that locks. then just change the tires on pavment or trail.

mountain biking. also manages the towers, and cracks in sidewalks and u sit more upright when u have more control
