Carry on.
I don't know where you get that. After buying bicycle parts for years I built up a flat-bar road bike and mountain bike. Sure, both have their merits but after thinking about it, I decided hybrid is the way to go.
Weirdly enough, I had already come to that conclusion years ago anyway. But doing it a second time with higher-quality bikes made the reality clearer to me. And after investigating bikes with wider tires, I decided Plus Hybrids would be a way to go.
Besides, this offers an opportunity for heavier riders to feel "safer" on a bike.
