Cross-Terrain Crossovers: The 9 Best Hybrid Bikes

B’Twin Hoprider 520

Sturdy and relatively inexpensive, the 520 is your comfort commuter hybrid that comes pre-loaded with guards to protect your clothes, and a luggage rack on the back for your bits, bobs, and backpacks. All the extra kit is great if you’re going to be tackling roads and meandering pathways, but it adds a lot of bulk to the frame which reduces the speed of the bike and makes any hill-climbing a Sisyphean act that will reduce all but the heartiest to pushing instead of pedaling. Tough tires and a straight build do make it a nice wayfarer, though. Purchase: ~$441
