Thanks for all of your advice. I have taken what everyone here has said, along with some other research I have done online and think I'm going to go with the Trek Navigator 50. It looks like it will do exactly what I am wanting it to do and is in my price range. I looked into the used bike thing, but the only thing that worries me is my complete lack of knowledge on the subject. I mean I know nothing about bike, so for me to go to a used bike place, I would not be able to tell the diff between any of them (I am having a hard enough time with New bikes). Someone on this thread said they had a Trek Navigator 300 and loved it. The guy at the bike shop I went to explained to me that the main diff between the bikes in the same range are the components. WEll, if I become that serious (which would be nice) then I figure I can just upgrade as I go. If anyone has anything else to say, like - "hey that bike sucks!" I'll appreciate it much. Thanks again!
