Hybrid bikes: Hardtail vs. front suspension at the same price point—which is better for casual ridin

I know because I’ve lived it—firsthand, and it wasn't pretty. That's why I stick to a rigid fork for any city riding or asphalt. Take my advice, guys. 😒
You shouldn't be braking mid-turn anyway. If you have to grab the brakes, you misjudged the corner and now you're just fighting to survive. It's a mess because braking forces you to straighten the bike up when you actually need to lean. Brake before the turn.
It’s got nothing to do with the fork.
