Great going guys ! Wonderful that you are trying to motivate your wives to join. It is the other way round for me. My husband who is otherwise a sporty kind is not a great fan of biking. Trying to convert him while being a newbie myself. I would love to ride with my 8 year old son. So since you guys have done a lot of research on women s bikes, may be benefit from your knowledge pool ? Looking for a bike which I can do some city riding with, plus some lighter mountain trails on weekends. We have recently moved to Denver. I am 5 feet and thick set. Any recommendations ? Thanks in advance.
