Which type cycle should I choose. Need Help Hi I'm looking for a cycle for long distance(50-60 km) riding in Delhi, India. I'm confused to choose between Road and Hybrid bike. If we consider roads then Hybrid is best option and if we consider distance then Road bike is best option so I'm confused between these two.

PS: I'm a beginner for gear bicycles. I used to ride non-gear bicycles for 30 kms.
There are pros and cons to each type of bike:

Road bike advantages (imo):


Light weight
Less rolling resistance/easier to maintain higher top speed
Easier maintenance in some cases (less paniers, fenders etc. That can get in the way of things
better looks?


Hybrid bike advantages:


Pre installed fenders (you won't get dirty when riding)
More mounting points for locks, lights etc.
Wider tires meaning less pinch flats (especially on rougher roads)
More options for mounting racks for carrying luggage (often these racks are pre installed)
Dynamo mount or hub dynamo (on some models) meaning you won't need batteries for your lights 
bigger tire clearance (distance between tire and frame) which is useful for mounting fenders but also to prevent the space between frame and tire getting filled up with mud when riding on dirty roads
+option to install wider tires due to frame clearance
more comfortable riding position
some hybrid bikes come with belt drives/internal gear hubs which require less maintenance/cleaning and internal gear hubs will have a longer lifespan than a derailleur system, It is said that belt drives also last longer than chains (but I have no personal experience with this)


It all depends on your situation... 

do you use the bike for cycling to work (if so can you chainge clothes at/near work?)? 

Have you ridden road bikes before/are you comfortable with the riding position (bent over to the front; which is more aerodynamic than the position on for example a hybrid bike)?

How rough are the roads you ride on? Are there many potholes and such? Will you risk getting pinch flats when riding on narrow (road bike style) tires?

Do you often ride in the rain/muddy roads? If so fenders would be a good thing to have on the bike.

Where do you store the bike? Do you need to carry it up stairs (if you store it inside)? If so weight is important.
How many hills you climb is also important regarding this (the bike's weight)

If the roads are muddy then if you use rim brakes you might risk wearing the pads/rim brake surfaces very fast due to the sand acting as a sandpaper in between brake pads and rims. When using disc brakes (which are present more on hybrid bikes than on road bikes) this problem will be greatly reduced or even illiminated (much less mud will get on your brake disc than on your rim wall, also brake discs can be easily replaced without rebuilding the wheel(s) and if you have to rebuild the wheel or replace the wheel it will most likely cost you a lot more money/time.
