No racing. Just for staying in shape, but we live around the Blue Ridge Mountains and it is very tough riding (street as well as path/trail), so we are looking for high quality/light bikes even though we will not be racing.

I will encourage her to join this forum, but she generally likes me to do research on purchases like this...I'm an engineer (for better or worse).
