Well...I couldn't help myself. After much research (I think I have now read EVERY thread regarding trailers, hybrids, Codas etc ), a test ride and a long talk with a husband who doesn't understand why we NEED a different bike, I picked up my new Jamis Coda last night! They gave me a great trade in price on my Sedona.

I was going on a group road ride last night, so I decided to try it out. We only went about 16.5 miles, because we had some new riders with us, but I thoroughly enjoyed the bike! It is very comfortable and puts me in a great position. The gearing seems great for my use.

Well, gotta go get the kids dressed so we can go for a ride! Thanks for all of the great feedback!
