What's the farthest you have ridden on a hybrid bicycle?

74.6 kilometres Dawes Mean Street. Vintage circa 1994.

I've ridden London to Paris on my Marin Fairfax. My son then took the bike to Vienna where he lived for a while and then cycled back to London on it. I've now got a road bike but would still be happy riding a long distance on the Marin. In my view it's whatever you're comfortable with.

117 miles on my Dawes Chilliwack. Leicester to Skegness on back roads. Brilliant day

I regularly ride 20 - 40 miles on it

Only 40 odd miles but only had it just over a month every time want to go for a long ride something seems to come up.

45 miles in Austria a weeks weeks back, there were some SERIOUSLY huge hills... I.e a 20% gradient hill for 1 mile.

Enjoyed it though, so much more versatile than my road bike!

110 miles on my Marin in one hit. Over 1000 miles over a few weeks in SE Asia.
Nowt wrong with a hybrid, and nothing about them that would make them unsuitable for long distance. And at least they're comfy

Completely agree, it's so nice having a gel seat for a change, also being able to mash through water, gravel and road without a care or worry!

We just hired a pair of bikes from the B&B we were staying at and they were standard 'X-Fact' ones, no idea if they were good or bad, but they did the job!

Ah, apologies, they were mountains - if you ever want hill climbing or mountain climbing practice, feel free to go to Austria, you might still find my lungs and heart about 1/2 way up one of them.

Freepost back to me :P

Did 103k yesterday on mine no problem. Specialised Sirrus elite.

 

[Torvi]

56miles in one go, having road bike since almost a year now... that's pretty shoot.

22 miles on the finest halfords Apollo something or other that 120 quid can buy , I've only just started doing any regular cycling so am predicting a new bike fairly soon.

Furthest so far in one go on my Whyte Coniston is 58.8. I intend to do more on it, it was bought for touring but thus far I have not done a tour.

I used to have a Marin hybrid and the furthest in one day on that was about 80 miles.

I am beginning to enjoy the comfort aspect more too have to admit.

I did this yesterday which included a cat 3 and a cat 4 climb on my little Charge Grater which is aluminium with a steel fork and single chainring with 8 gears. Gets you up most places in comfort.

211Km - last year, from South Leicester, to Staunton in the Vale and back. This year it's 204Km - similar ride - must have taken a short cut. Hope to do at least one more 200Km+ ride this year - though its a bit too warm around this time of year.....
