Need some bike-buying advice. I need something that is a cross between a high-end super-light hybrid and a cruiser! Does anything like that exist? It seems like the stuff with the features I need are just too heavy, and the light ones have the wrong posture/geometry.
Been cycling for several years - started with a Lamborghini Leggenda, then graduated to a GT Transeo because I was doing some mild off-road stuff but could only afford one bike. Had arthritis issues all along but no issues. About a year ago the geometry of the GT started hurting my neck. Then in January I got sick and for some reason have had issues with energy ever since. The bike just feels sooo heavy. The Lambo was a hefty 29 pounds or so, and I think the GT is like 36 pounds. I've tried snacking, eating pasta the night before, etc. I think a lighter bike will help but I definitely need a more upright position too!
