Which Bike?

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

Just moved here from the states and have been out looking at bikes. Have been looking at a hybrid style by Granville but it seems heavy compared to what I am used to. The dealer says it will be good for recreational riding -- including rides in the forest. Any thoughts?
