For my test ride, the bike shop is about a mile from the local MUP that I ride quite a bit for my short rides. So I just left from the shop and rode down the road to the trail head. I didn't test ride the bikes I was actually considering buying, but bikes that had the same frame with lower tier level components on them.

The Trek Electra bikes are the cruisers I was talking about. If you want comfort, are not planning on riding like a adrenaline crazed junkie, and for short rides were leisure is more important than performance, then some of these will give a very comfortable relaxing slow ride. Look for the ones with the very slack seat tube and wide comfy saddle with springs.

I don't have one, as I'm usually that adrenaline crazed junkie and riding for 1½ to 2 hours at a time. But if I ever was to talk my wife into a bike, this is the type she'd probably want, and I'd get one too for myself as I feel it'd curb my desire to go fast.
