What's the best hybrid bike to get?
Hi.
I want to get a hybrid bike for city riding and also along canals
and hiking footpaths (not much "mountain" biking, as there isn't
much mountains here in England).
What's the best buy for such a bike? I plan to spend no more
than 250-300 pounds. Please suggest brands and models,
the best value for the money spent.
I'm 5'9" or 175cm tall, male.
Other than speed, I'm also looking for comfort, durability,
and quality. Ease for adding accessories, less chance of
theft, etc. are other considerations.
Thank you for your suggestions.

One of those mopeds, you can pedal em' then you can kick on a little gas engine. It goes about 20mph.
Devinci hands down..I'm too lazy to convert pounds to dollars so here's a site for ya. http://www.devinci.com/
I bought a Marin Stinson 2.5 years ago. Best thing i ever did. Very comfortable, tough, no repairs with several thousand miles on it. I do several 50k charity rides, ride 2-300 miles a week now. Good on trails and on the road. The Kendra cross tires are the best too! It goes wherever I go now. NYC west side greenway trail is perfect for this.
I hope to graduate to a new roadbike for next year for more speed and distance, but this bike got me on track after 20 years and helped me lose 40 LBS! It would still be used weekly, even with a new road bike.
I would definitely go with a Trek hybrid.

I have a 7700FX and a 7200, and they are both fantastic for very different reasons.
You are the same height as I, and male - and although I don't know your age (I'm 'late middle') I note that comfort is one of your main criteria.
Like a previous respondent to your question, I can unreservedly recommend a Trek 'Navigator' model. I have owned a Navigator 300 for several years and it has proved to be the best all rounder I have ever ridden. No matter what I ask of it - shopping, continental touring, or the occasional 'off road' excursion, it never seems to get caught out.
It is extremely comfortable, and because mine is a 'fully equipped' model (front and rear carriers, mudguards, lights, etc.,) it is therefore an "all round, all weather" machine.
I can confirm its durability and reliability because so far _nothing_ has gone wrong. Indeed, I have never even had to adjust the gears since it was bought - the controls are still set as they were when new! The aluminium frame is strong and well constructed and the front suspension forks can be adjusted to your own preferences (I keep mine fully 'stiff' and find that setting OK for all conditions).
I've had 'tuffy tape' protection from new and that, combined with 'Kevlar' material tyres, make punctures almost a thing of the past. Incidentally, if you do buy a Trek, make sure the standard tyres are changed for tyres with 'smooth' centres and 'knobbly' shoulders - this will ensure you ride well on most surfaces.
Quality goes without saying - Trek has an excellent reputation in the USA (where I first came across the brand) - and my experience suggests it is well deserved. And they represent excellent value for money considering the quality of components fitted.
Anyway, whichever brand/model you buy, I wish you good cycling!
