I've been shopping for a new bike for months and finally bought one last week: a Trek Lexa S. I love it! I can't believe how much more fun riding a bike is now than it was when I was a kid. And this is a big improvement over the General mountain bike I bought 22 years ago. I rode 14 miles my first time out on the bike path and was ready more.
Thanks to all of you who've posted questions and advice in this forum. I read and read here while I was shopping. You helped me make a decision I'm really delighted with.
Happy trails!
