Need your opinions on a new bike!

[yetigooch]

I'm moving in a few months to an area that is a block from a multi-use path (yay!!!) which is dirt packed. My skinny tire Trek road bike isn't going to cut it on this path, so I need some ideas.

Here is what I would like: Relaxed road bike geometry with curved bars for multiple hand positions. I'm only 5'4", so I think most of the Surly's are out

GO!!!

Try looking are cross bikes....They are great multiuse bikes. Practically every company puts one of these out so you'll have plenty to choose from. Buying a new bike is always so much fun :0)
