I have a puch mixte I ride and love it. It is for me the one I run to the coffee shop on or a quick run to the store. Its a great bike however.......... the ones my wife and I ride on the bike trails etc. are hard tail raleigh's with sprung seats and continental contact sport tires for easier roll and 1.6 size for comfort. The wife runs her seat way low but its where she is comfortable and I will keep it where ever she wants as long as she and I can ride together! They work for us, I'm sure there are many choices but these are ours at 65 and 66.
