Has anyone bought a great on/off road comfort bicycle/bike lately? |
I have an old Huffy Cruiser that I bought waaaaayyyy back in 1986. It's the kind you push the pedal back to brake, one speed, etc. It's been ridden all over the place! I also have a mountain bike I bought about 10 years ago, but haven't used it much at all since it's not very comfortable. I'd like to get a nicer bike to ride on the bike path by work at lunchtime, and wondered what other people were riding. Something comfortable that can also handle gravel and occasional dirt paths would be great. Thanks so much guys. There's a family-owned bike shop by work that carries Trek, and I'm pretty sure they have the Soho. There's another shop that carries the Sedona, so I'm going to take them out and see which seems like the better fit. Plus a trip to Target to check out the Devon (woman's version) won't hurt either. Just bought the Giant Sedona DX about a month ago and really am enjoying it.Very comfortable and easy to ride.Great on trails or pavement.Has a hybrid tire for different surfaces.So much more comfortable of a sitting position compared to a mountain bike but at the same time it looks pretty much like a mountain bike. We used to carry Giant, and they are known for quality, though it's gone down since the 1990s. The Sedona sounds about what you want. It doesn't have the knobby tires that are pain on the road but good for the trails. All of the bike manufactures will have a version of this bike. These bikes have a more upright seating then the mountain bike. |

I agree with the sentiments that the rider, not the bike, is what counts. Still, if you can afford it why not have the best?
