I am thinking about getting the women's Giant Suede bike. Does anyone have this bike and like it? Would it be OK to ride off of paved surfaces, like dirt or gravel with this bike?
Sure, the bike will be fine for greenbelt paths or an occasional gravel road. If you find yourself on looser soils, you should probably get a tire with deeper knobs/tread in it to keep enough traction.
Anything more than a groomed dirt road and you'll want to start looking for more of a "mountain bike" type setup. Two rules: wear your helmet, and enjoy yourself!
I do not have it but have read about it and it looks like a wonderful way of getting exercise and then if you get tired you can just let the electrical system built into this bike go to work for you. According to what my friend told me, it would be fine to ride on dirt and it is exceptional if you are in a hilly area. good luck
