I've test ridden a number of bikes mentioned here, and the Raleigh Cadent series is probably my favorite. The Giant Escapes and Rapids are great deals if money is a concern.
Well, I went to a local bike shop and test rode a couple of bikes, two road bike to be more precise. Yeah I know I was talking about hybrids here, but I've also ridden road bikes in the past, perhaps road bikes that were too large for me, the very nice young woman that was help me first put me on a Jamis of some sort and that was an okay kind of ride, more comfortable than my last fuji road bike, but I had to cut the test ride short because the front tire was loosing air fast, then she put me on a Giant Defy 2, which felt a bit more upright and maybe even a bit more comfortable than the Jamis and definately more comfortable than my fuji. So it looks like a properly sized road bike might be a possibility for my new ride.
