Should i get a mtn,road or hybrid ? I think that road ones are not what i want i dont even like its handle and posture . . . I am not sure what the hybrid is though . . . So please tell me abt it . . . And if i got a mtn what are good customizations i should ask for b4 building my bike ? The wheeles , tyres maybe i could get road gear on the mtn body ? Any help ? Cairos streets are bad but i am planning to take it for rides to the beach (90 kms) away so i think mtn would be hard to ride for that distance . . . I would love to get a mix that would make me ride at 35-40 km/h without so much effort ? Any help ?
 
Well you better buy a motorcycle because you are not going to ride at 35-40 km/h without much effort unless you are a pro. You better go to a bike shop and start asking questions there.
 
You definetly need a road bike or at least a touring bike for both speed and the distances you want. For riding in the streets, you may want to lower the seat a bit and raise the handlebar a bit for a more relaxed posture, but for the rides to the beach you need to get down as aerodynamic as you can because that it what most of the effort is about, going through the air, wind resistance. A hybrid will weight 50% more than a road bike and the posture is very bad for aerodynamic. Mountain bike will be even slower and less aero.
