Celebrate earth day all month long

This month, choose to celebrate Earth Day in a real, practical manner. Instead of taking four wheels to work or school, choose two wheels! Not only will choosing to ride your bike have a tangible impact on your health and fitness, it will also have a great impact on the environment.

When it comes to commuting, Hybrid or Comfort bikes are popular for many reasons. They are a comfortable, approachable, eco-friendly means of getting out with family and friends, running errands, exercising or commuting to work. They don't pretend to be ultra-fast racers and they aren't overbuilt tanks for the off-road trails. They are the middle—an excellent combination of comfort, efficiency and fun.

Hybrids and Comfort bikes, though technically different, cater to essentially the same market and may be called any number of different names. Don't worry about it. Read through our buyer's guide to see what features make hybrids so popular and then come in to B&L Bike Shop find the perfect one for yourself.
