I do have a question.

I'm looking at getting a bike (mainly for fitness but eventually getting around although the terrain isn't very bike friendly). I remember Angua said to get a road bike and not a mountain bike to reduce friction. But if I get a road bike with the smooth slick tyres, what is it like if I do go offroad? OK on grass but impossible through forests?

I've seen hybrids but they seem expensive. I should imagine most of my riding will be on road but wouldn't mind going through country side on it.
