Thanks gents, I appreciate the input. I went to a few bike shops and took test rides. Good thing I did because what I was thinking based on internet shopping didn't work out so well on the pavement. Anyway, I found something I had never heard of called a Batch. It felt great on the test ride and I bought it. I have 3 rides of 4 to 5 miles on it and it feels good. I am very slow compared to my previous bikes but I have no trouble mounting and dismounting. It feels really good to be riding again, even slowly. Can't wait to get out and do some miles today.
