Now, as for the Cypress...isn't it a "comfort" bike meant for cruising and so forth?
Um, no. The Cypress SX and SL are in the fitness bike category. I bought the SX a few months ago and use it as a commuter. It is an awesome bike. Consumer Reports rates it as it's their first choice in this category of bikes.
