Wonderful website. Hi everyone.
I love my comfort bike. I had never even heard the term until I owned one. For a total impulse buy, my Specialized Expedition Sport is amazingly suited to my needs. It's lighter and seems as efficient to pedal as my old steel-framed Ralieigh road bike. The seating position isn't extremely upright, the saddle isn't ridiculously wide, and I'm covering more distance and a much wider variety of terrain than I had expected. Instead of just exploring the neighborhood, I spent the summer riding nature trails and bush roads, sightseeing along the National Capital pathway network and going from town to town on a wonderful rail trail that runs right past the end of my street. Without ever intending to, I lost 20 pounds and gained an energy level I haven't experienced in years. Not bad for an outlay of about $250 U.S.
