I'm now totaly confused which type I should go for . I'm a pleasure rider riding to keep fit . At the moment I have a mountain bike . 20 Years old . I want to have a rear pannier for one bag maybe 2 . I didn't want drop bars Incase I spend a fortune on a bike and can't get used to them . And I heard riding position is bent over . At 46 I don't wanna get a bad back . But is a hybrid good for speed like a road bike ? Which is safer for me ? Best brakes etc . I'm no speed demon and never gonna go 60 miles a trip . Most I've done in one trip is 30 miles so far .
So I want a bike for max 30 miles in comfort ,with a pannier fitted ,good brakes and gears ,light and one I can get speed on safely . So hybrid or road ?
