The Hybrid Bicycle Blog

I have an old Huffy Cruiser that I bought waaaaayyyy back in 1986. It’s the kind you push the pedal back to brake, one speed, etc. It’s been ridden all over the place! I also have a mountain bike I bought about 10 years ago, but haven’t used it much at all since it’s not very comfortable. I’d like to get a nicer bike to ride on the bike path by work at lunchtime, and wondered what other people were riding. Something comfortable that can also handle gravel and occasional dirt paths would be great.

I have done a little research and found Sedona by Giant. It’s supposed to be comfortable, but have mountain-bike-style tires, so can go on dirt paths too which would be just about perfect. Has anyone tried this or a similar bike out? Where did you purchase your ride?

Thanks so much, in advance, for your time!

Thanks so much guys. There’s a family-owned bike shop by work that carries Trek, and I’m pretty sure they have the Soho. There’s another shop that carries the Sedona, so I’m going to take them out and see which seems like the better fit. Plus a trip to Target to check out the Devon (woman’s version) won’t hurt either.

We go camping a lot, and there are some fun dirt trails to ride (no five foot drops into air or anything) so definitely want the ruggedness but then also the comfort for a daily ride on the bike path.

** I’ll update this by Saturday.

**** Thanks again each of you.
** Hey, just REALLY checked out the Trek Navigator, and it seems like it may be an awesome choice. **

Very excited, thanks again! And will update on which I go with.

Just bought the Giant Sedona DX about a month ago and really am enjoying it.Very comfortable and easy to ride.Great on trails or pavement.Has a hybrid tire for different surfaces.So much more comfortable of a sitting position compared to a mountain bike but at the same time it looks pretty much like a mountain bike.
