Re-introduction???

Hey there, I tried to create a new account, found out I already had one and I did and introduction!

...7 years ago...

TL,DR: I知 back again looking into hybrid bikes to ride greenways so hybrid is probably the way I値l go. Not sure what I think about front suspension or solid forks. Time will tell and I致e got a lot of reading to do.

Thanks,
Paul

Hello Paul,
Welcome back after your 7-year hiatus a few things in the cycling world have changed since you last visited the site.
I am not well versed on hybrids but there is a subforum here with folks that can assist you with lots of information...
Best, Ben

Welcome back. Solid fork is simpler, lighter, and uses less energy. best choice unless going over very difficult terrain.

Visit the hybrid sub-forum.

Thanks for the replies! I’ve been spending time in the Hybrid forum...lots to read!

I’m wanting a bike for greenways so speed isn’t as much of a concern BUT, I sure feel slow on my hardtail MTB.

I want a bicycle like my Motorcycle (BMW GS). Kinda quick, versatile and comfy.

You could put on smooth, skinnier tires.
That won't help the engine though.
