Why the Whyte Shoreditch could the best hybrid bike for you
This bike is part of Whyte bikes Urban R7 flatbar road bike range. It has a long wheelbase with a relaxed head angle for high speed stability while the shorter stem gives greater manoeuvrability at slower speeds (just the job for city cycling). Being lightweight also makes it easier to handle (and to lift in and out of the car, shed or hanging rack).
Because it's made by Whyte, you can trust the quality. Designed to be ridden in the varied British weather, the Shoreditch hybrid bikes have multiple weather proofing features which means less maintenance should be required. The hydraulic disc brakes also offer reliable and responsible stopping, ideal in all weather conditions.
Is your commute or cycling route hilly? You won't struggle to find the right gear with the Whyte Shoreditch as it has mountain bike clutch mech technology and the all-new Deore 11-42 wide range cassette.
It's also really practical, which is what you need from a commuter bike. Pannier racks and mudguards can easily be fitted as the custom rear dropout mounts the disc brake calliper inside the rear triangle and is fitted with robust tyres which can handle road and gravel paths. A relatively upright riding position gives a great balance of handling and comfort and available in sizes medium to xl so there are sizes to suit most.
