Joy,
Happy Birthday and congrats on the new bike. I think you made an excellent choice with the Dew. I think that bike may be the best bang-for-the-buck all around contender. I love the off-white color. I also think that the straight bars will give you much better stability and confidence on those railtrails than drop bars. The Dew Deluxe and Dr. Dew just aren't worth the extra money considering what you get with the Dew. Looking forward to seeing some photos.
