Mountain Bike vs. Road Bike.

Is there a big difference between the two? I want to get a Bike, I am not planning on doing any sort of hardcore offroading with it. I'm not planning on doing Tour de France either. Im leaning towards a mountain bike.

You can get a hybrid bike, which is one meant for the road or off-road.JC346

A Mountain bike is a better all round bike, Road bikes can't go on anything other then a hard smooth surface. Not to mention the tyres on a road bike are 10x harder to change.

Just get a good city bike. Far more practical then either a mountain bike or a road bike.

Atouring bike is good. Its got clearance for wider tires and has alot of gears and it has drop bars.

Neither. I bought a car so I wouldn't have to ride a bike anymore.
