For entry-level riders who are looking for a hybrid bike, one excellent choice is the new Motion, which has been launched by Ridgeback Bicycles for 2012. Despite its lack of accessories, the Motion is labeled as a comfort hybrid bike as it is quite upright.

Designed with recreational riders in mind, the Motion

is built from an aluminum frame with a stiff steel

fork, as well as 21-speed gearing from Shimano. Aside from being lightweight, this aluminum frame also features impressive aesthetics.

What is more, the 2012 Ridgeback Motion Hybrid Bike is one of the most inexpensive bikes on the market today. Riders who are on a budget and want to hone their riding skills whether on the trail or on the city streets will love the Motion.
