<h2><strong>Hybrid Bike Sizing </strong></h2>
<a href="http://besthybridbike-reviews.com/top-10-hybrid-bikes/">Hybrid bikes</a> can be measured in a number of ways, but generally, most brands stick to the same formula for measuring their bikes. Typically you can find bikes in generic sizes like XS, S, M, L, and XL. These sizes are determined by the manufacturer measuring the distance between the bottom bracket and the bottom of the seat (top of the seat tube).

Remember, each manufacturer is different, so double check that their measurements stack up!

 	<li>Hold the handle bars firmly</li>
 	<li>Step over the bike so that you have one leg on either side</li>

 	<li>Adjust your seat how you’d like it</li>
 	<li>Take it HOME!</li>
</ul>
That’s it! Hybrid bike sizing in store is incredibly easy and takes no time at all!

Finding the right bike online is just a little bit trickier. You’ll have to know all your measurements and be able to compare them to the bikes measurements. Most online sites have nifty charts to help you with picking out the right size!

There are a few measurements you’ll have to have before you start sizing. First, you’ll have to measure your height. Stand flat-footed and up right on a bare floor, take the measuring tape from the bottom of your foot, to the crown of your head. Boom! Measurement one.

Second, you’ll need to know your<a href="https://www.wikihow.com/Measure-Your-Inseam"> inseam</a>. This measurement is taken on the inside of your leg. Measure from your foot to your crotch, on the inside of your leg. Boom! Measurement two!

Once you have YOUR measurements, it’s time to see how they match up to the hybrid bike’s measurements. Look closely at the char provided (if there is one) and you’ll be able to match your measurements to the hybrid bike of your dreams!

Firstly, you can ask the manufacturer if you are allowed to return the bike for one smaller or larger. This is probably going to be the easiest way to rectify the problem. You may not get to ride off into the sunset on your new bike, but in a few days of shipping back and forth, it’ll all be just right!

If the bike dealer won’t let you return the bike, you can still make changes! You can buy a different size seat post. This will allow you to adjust the height of the seat, without having to purchase a new bike. You can also purchase a longer or shorter handlebar stem. This will allow the handlebars to move back, or forward, depending upon the desired position!
<h2><strong>Riding On</strong></h2>
Hybrid bike sizing can be extremely simple! Whether you buy in store and can easily step over the bike frame, or you have your measurements all set to buy online, it’s not too hard to find the right sized bike for you!
