Buying first new bicycle in 40 yrs.
Sorry about another new bike thread but need some advise. My wife and I want to get into bicycling. So many new terms. We have been to the LBS and looked mainly at Trek 7500. This seems to be a good bike for bike paths and roads. We will not get to ride every day because I am out of town too much. We just want good solid bikes to see how far we go with this. we are looking forward to taking the train downtown (Chicago) and riding the lake front. We live in northern IL and have the trails in Lake and McHenry county to ride. What do you think? I am 57 and my wife is 55.
