    Complete newbie question, so apologies to the heads :p

    I realise cyclo-cross bikes can handle rough terrain, but as an all round bike, would a hybrid bike better suit my needs? My needs being vast amounts of back roads around Laois/Offaly.

    Neither.

    If you don't need to go off-road then a normal road bike would be ideal. A normal road bike will take tyres up to 28mm, which is enough for any amount of crappy tarmac.

    Cool :) The popular (mis)conception seems to be that road bikes need smooooooooth tarmac. Thanks for your help.
