Trek Pure is the pedal forward bike. Geometry is such so you can put feet flat on ground while seated, but have leg stretched out to cycle. Never rode one. Suspect they would be difficult to stand on pedals to climb hills, and not entirely sure you can pedal with max power with legs slightly forward. The Historian has a Navigator, maybe he will give his impressions. If you are going to ride on paved surfaces or hard packed trails, I think you would be better with something from the Trek 7000 comfort bike line or Trek 7.x hybrid line. Narrow tires are a bit easier to turn. Also for mentioned surfaces you do not need a suspension fork, save money and weight.
