My daily commuting rides soon turned into day long journeys through town and to the next town, and on several of the rails-to-trails here in the state. In the 8 months I've had the bike I've logged over 3500 miles. I recently put the 7.3 FX to the test with a trip across the state of Florida. Even heavily laden it handled well and was comforta..."

Fun Bike

"I bought this bike as a commuter and it was so comfortable I took it on a 73 mile organized ride last summer. It performed great. I live in Colorado and have rode it all winter, so far, even in the snow, put a pair of cycle cross tires on it.

"I couldn't be more pleased with this bike. I run 20-30 miles per week, and I wanted a bike that would be a good complement for my running-- and for my personality. I like being in motion. I run for health and enjoyment, not to race, so a road bike isn't my style. Fitness bikes are right for me.

"I bought the 7.3FX to replace my elderly Trek 720 and my swb recumbent. After comparing the ride against my old bike and recumbent, I was very pleased with how much technology and attention to detail Trek has put into the economical FX. You usually don't find a ride like this for less than $800 to $ …"  Read Full Review »

I also used this bike quite a bit while commuting to work. …"  Read Full Review »
