When I moved back to Dallas I didn't have a great bike path at my disposal so I gradually got away from cycling. I hated riding on the road with traffic. I started looki..." Read Full Review »

Nice bike; not great offroad

"I ride on a daily basis to commute and ride around town. My daughter sits on back in a child seat. When I purchased it, I thought it would take me off road, but I quickly realized that this is not the bike to go off-road with.

"I use my bike for commuting and fitness. Regarding commuting, the ride is just upright enough to feel comfortable in traffic, but still low enough for fast riding. Most hybrids I rode had a more comfort than performance feel, which I disliked. The 7.5 leans slightly the other way, still very comfort …"  Read Full Review »

"I bought this bike in January 2008 and rode it every week for six months. I had not been on a bike in a few years due to knee pain and had gotten very out of shape.

"This bike is like a dream come true. I rode my last bike for the past 10 years and then decided it was time to get a new bike. I really wanted value and performance and I wanted a bike that would last. I didn't make that decision quickly. I rode about 15 hybrids before I first rode the 7.5 FX. Since …"  Read Full Review »
