Thank you for the response. It's a "Hybrid."
I must say, I felt very old indeed when I first went shopping for a bike and told the clerk I wanted something with 26" or 27" wheels. The young man looked at me as though I had lost my marbles - but only for an instant. I think he felt a little sorry for me after I said that and began the education process. He turned out to be a very polite and friendly young man and helped my wife and I a great deal.
Sadly, his manager (store owner?) took over and really pushed hard for us to buy a $650.00 Trek because it was a "great deal." We wound up in a different town and saw the Raleigh. I suspect it will serve our needs just fine. My wife has a lightly used GT mountain bike that she liked once we put a more comfy saddle on.
Looking forward to doing a little riding this Spring.
