A coworker just ask me to recommend a few bikes for him to test ride. He's looking to spend around $800 and wants a decent all-arounder. Something he could possible throw a rack on for grocery trips but still take out on the weekend for a 50-miler. Certainly don't need a race bike but not a full-blown comfort ride either.

Can you guys post a few options of what would fit the bill? Looking for new, not used. This is a coworker...I don't have the time to shop for used bike with him. Thanks!
