My wife and I both have bikes like that
Absolutely! I have my Trek 7200 and my wife has a new (last year) 7100. We ride a LOT! Being married over 30 years, its a way of doing something fun together again.
We generally hit the paths or lakefront during the weekends and go for hours......lots of fun. I also have a single speed folder that I keep in the trunk in summer for getting around the University campus I work at. NO lycra, special shoes etc. for us.......we just love being out there and enjoying the scenery and time together.
I have done 50+ miles in a charity ride last year on my bike.......thinking about doing it again this year. We generally go for 2-4 hours, no concern about how fast or how far.....just enjoy......
