I have my eye on a few different hybrid bikes-primarily for riding to restaurants in my home town of Old Town Alexandria and occasional trail rides into DC. Nothing extreme.
I prefer a lighter bike since I'm a smaller woman. Easy to maintain is key since I'm not the most handy person. Disc brakes preferred. I'll be mostly on pavement around town, but our area is historical with some brick roads/sidewalks so a smoother ride over those surfaces would be nice. The specs on these bikes is like a foreign language because I'm not a biker, so any top 2 recommendations with explanations would be much appreciated!
I am deciding between the following options in the $500-$600 range:
Trek 7.2 FX WSD
Trek 7.2 FX WSD - Women's - Spokes Etc. Bicycles
Specialized Vita Disc
