  • Canal tow paths and the like do not warrent suspension, and a cross bike will be much lighter than a hybrid.

    Tow paths maybe not but bridleways certainly can, often at short notice. As jemjah implied that her road riding is going to be more limited then there is little benefit to a cross bike. Also, as cross bikes are very similar in dimensions and geometry to road bikes and jemjah has said that she might need stabilisers for a road bike, they may not be the best suggestion.
