My wife and I bought a Trek 7000 and a Trek 7000WSD last spring we rode them all over town and on an old rail bed trail, I've ridden mine on a 7 mile each way trail about 2 or 3 times a week all summer pluss for most of my intown comuting (live in a smaller midwest town) I've pulled my kids in a trailer with it and my wife has with hers as well. Now I will admit we arn't putting 100 pluss miles a week on them but for what we do we love them.
