I went to a few bike stores here in northern VA. and it's gotten more and more confusing. It looks like I need a hybrid. The Trek FX series seems to be the most promising but the Cannondale quick seems promising. I have lots of questions.
I bought my 13 y/o grandson a Trek 7.2FX last year. He loves it.

You say you're "thinking" about getting into cycling. I want to know what took you so long to get here?
