    this was the clearest, most simplified, and easiest to understand differentiation of bikes i've ever seen.

      Yes, clear and to the point.

      I can understand avoiding singlespeed and its subgenre, track, because they are usually for enthusiasts who know what they are getting into with a bicycle. Recumbents are not popular with beginners either and are priced out of the target.
      However I believe he should have added in cross/gravel bikes. They make good beginner bikes (the only problem being drop bars for some), and fit in the “if a mountain bike and a road bike had a baby” model he came up with - not sure the car analogy though.
      The only issue is the larger manufacturers haven’t yet introduced entry level bikes in this category yet, they’re still priced and spec’d too high. Looking at direct sakes like BikesDirect, it looks that they should only be $50 higher than an entry road, the added price being for the mechanical discs, something which should be in a fitness hybrid anyways. Overall, much cheaper that a sport hybrid unless that hybrid has an unusable front shock.

    I'm a 66 y/o male that has some arthritis issues now. I love riding a bike whenever possible. An upright seating position means I can look around when riding on city streets avoiding neck strain. Going to the grocery store is a chore without a basket on the back to hold stuff so the step thru design makes getting on and off much easier not to mention having to stop for traffic.Instead of having some "cool" looking bike I prefer one that actually works for my situation. Xcellent tutorial

      @David Skreiner 1 thing you should know david is that not all bikes have a comfort frame back in the day
      Comfort hybrid frames even back in the day is designed like this: the top tube and down tube are completely parallel and both tubes curved down making it step through, they made it COMFORTABLE
      Well the thing is it is not the common type of bike back then
      They commonly use a more normal bike with a top tube parallel to the ground and a down tube inclined but straight so its tall as a road bike or as small as a bmx and can be uncomfy sometimes so they made a more comfy bike frame which they call it "the granny bike" or "mommy bike"
      Im sorry but i disagree with you

    THANK YOU for all of your comments about this topic! Our goal for this video is to provide a starting point for the newbie shopper who knows NOTHING about bikes. We’re just talking adult bikes here - the top 5 categories that are sold in our bike shop located in New York. For those of you that have commented that we didn’t mention singlespeed, recumbents, cruisers, gravel, cyclocross, bmx, touring, yadayada… sounds like you already know a lot more about bikes than what this video is intended to cover. We HOPE to have future videos that dig deeper into all the different types of bikes out there!

    I have a mountain bike that I use to ride around my village. It is pretty useful as there is a bump in the road every 5 seconds. And you have to be extremly careful around one point because there is a hole that can fit a smaller foot and it isnt nice when you ride on it as it makes you jump quite high 😅

      Depends what you mean by comfort. If you're talking about doing long distances on the road, then a comfort hybrid would be very uncomfortable. It's all about matching the right type of bike to your physical abilities and riding goals. We hope at least this video gets that conversation started so that when you walk into your local bike shop, they don't need to start at square one. Your local bike shop will be your best resource to match you to a suitable bike.

      Exactly, I have been using them on Austin Texas roads for 25yrs. They are much safer, easier to transfer from sidewalk to road, able to use more aspects of the road, less flats, better maneuver, etc. The trick is keeping the tires pumped "rock hard". That is what worked for me after years of road bikes.
