I have a Specialized Crossroads, a hybrid bike that's 5 or 6 years old. It's bottom of the line, I think, but I've been very happy with it. I broke a pedal early on, and wore the seat out, both probably due to my being pretty heavy, but I've had no other problems. (And I'm not so heavy any more.) I'm looking to upgrade, because I'm starting to think it's fun to go fast, and this bike is pretty heavy, but I'll keep it for running the dogs, grocery shopping and commuting.
