question for you guys, I bought a "hybrid" bike a few years ago (basically a cross between a mountain bike and a road bike)...it seems since new, ive been having to inflate the tires about once every 3 weeks or so. Is that normal? seemed like I could get a lot longer than that back when I had a mountain bike with fatter tires.
if anyones not familiar with hybrid bikes, theyre a pretty neat idea. The rationale behind them is, some of us aren't extreme athletes and don't need shocks, knobby tires etc for jumping over logs on trails...nor are we racing in the tour de france, so a flimsy super light street bike isn't a fit either. so a hybrid takes the comfort and durability of a mountain bike and blends it with the more speed oriented wheels and hard tail frame of a street bike. its kind of an honest bike that doesn't play to anyones fantasies.
Mine was about $700.
