Also learning you can make any entry level bike look nice by upgrading parts. Any advice on where to start?
A Trek Dual Sport is a hybrid with a suspension fork, yes? I wouldn't spend a bunch trying to upgrade it unless something is worn out or there is something you don't like about it.
For now you could just ride it and have fun while learning and building a base. If you stick with it you might decide you want a road bike or gravel bike or mtb.
