Hi there!

I had an 05 Giant Cypress DX. It was my first "adult" bike. It was perfect for what I wanted: running errands, riding paved trails, tooling around comfortably. Sadly, some scummy bike thief stole it a couple of weeks ago.

I loved it and miss it. (That being said, I did go and spring for a road bike less than a year after I got the hybrid. But I think both bikes have their purpose. A hybrid will NOT end up being a waste of money if you wind up getting a roadie. The hybrid serves a lot of purposes, well!)

Good luck, and have fun! I hope you get hooked as fast as I did!
