Performance has a coasting bike now -- the Schwinn Sid & Nancy. Gotta love the names. Someone at Pac Cycles has a sense of humor. $449

IMO the trek is overpriced.

I bought my wife a hybrid a few years ago. Its way too complicated for her too. If the coasting thing had been around then it would have been a better alternative for her I think. It might even make sense to put her hybrid on CL and get her a Nancy.
