need some advise.
my son going to SMK nearby house next year. i've been considering to get him a bike to let him go & back from school himself. the distance between school & house is less than 2km. which is more suitable, mountain bike or hybrid bike? This post has been edited by steevan1000: Dec 3 2023, 10:57 PM |

QUOTE(kiddokitt @ Dec 3 2023, 10:59 PM) What do you mean by hybrid bike? You mean a foldable one? went to decathlon & saw this type called hybrid, a mix between road & mountain bike.Since it’s a school, a simple hardtail mountain bike should do.  |

QUOTE(gobiomani @ Dec 4 2023, 10:53 AM) A simple & cheap hard tail mountain bike would do. Don't get too expensive then will get stolen or parts will go missing. Or a commuter bike, but kids won't like it coz it doesn't look cool. the cheapest available in decathlon is over Rm 500 (after discount)  |
