Thanks for replying. I will let you know how it goes. I think I would have spent more time looking for a hybrid if I had I known that our bikes would be recovered. But to not have a bicycle to ride . . . what kind of life is that??????

I was really hesitant to buy the bike but my SO and LBS said it was fine. I have only ridden the Trek for about 5 miles and am pretty shaky. I guess if it doesn't work out, there is always Craig's list. LOL

I am a little over 5'1. I have really short legs and a long torso. the LBS put a shorter stem on the bike for me which helped. I am more concerned about the reach than anything. The hybrid is the same size as my old Giant and I was really concerned, but the LBS and my SO said I was making a big deal out if it because the bike didn't come smaller. Of course, they didn't crash on the Giant the way I did. (The wheels on the Ruby are the same size as the wheels on the hybrid.)
