Advice on new Hybrid Bikes please...
I'm currently looking at a Trek 7.1 fx (449.00) and a Trek 7.2 fx (519.99) at a local bike shop. Are these good prices for these bikes? Also, are Globe bikes any good? And if so any recommendations on other bikes within a budget of around 520 would be nice, thanks!

That's about average in price, are these 2011 models? Globe isn't bad, it's actually owned by Specialized. Most Globe's I've seen are more Cruiser style, but I haven't looked at them much. Certainly better than non-bike shop bikes. I'd look at something like a Specialized Sirrus Sport over Globe though. That retails for $550, but you should be able to get it a little cheaper. It has some upgrades over the base Sirrus.
