Hi mala,

Basically your choise would depend on the duration of riding , there are 5 types of bikes available -

Road bikes: They are meant to cover long distances mainly on the roads. Their light weight and narrow tires help you to conserve energy during long rides.

Mountain bikes: As the name suggest these bikes are extremely strong, the tires have knobby treads and they are specifically designed for really rough terrain.

Hybrid bikes: They are a combination of mountain and road bikes.

Cruisers: Also called as touring bikes, they have wide tires, upright handlebars and most of the times are loaded with a gear box.

Utility bicycles: They are designed for commuting, shopping and running. They employ middle or heavy weight frames and tires and they often have internal hub gearing.
