HELP!! New Rider
Last spring I purchased a mountain bike from Walmart for casual use and started riding the local trails near my house during the height of the pandemic. I desperately need an upgrade, because I'm tired of getting left behind by the other riders on the trail. I test drove a Trek FX3 today which retails for $900. I do love its' handling, design, and speed, but not its' price. Is there a comparable hybrid bike for a casual rider like me? I want to stay around $500 for a hybrid model.
