Hybrid bikes such as this are designed as compromises between road and trail. “This is for the person who just wants a pleasant ride,” says Steve Kahn, owner of Danny's Cycles, in Scarsdale, N.Y. With a cushy seat and front suspension, it rides like an old-time Cadillac. Too poky for long trips, and too heavy for steep trails, it's just the ticket for easy tours of dirt roads or bike paths. I found the upright riding position comfortable, but slow (too much wind against your torso). So, while it is well-made and easy to ride, this bike wasn't for me. More speed, please. Wheels 28 in.
