Ok so I have not had a bicycle since I was like 8 years old which was well over 10 years ago. I am looking to get another one now as summer comes around. Anyways I am looking for a good cross between road and mountain. I will primarily be using this for commuting to and from work which is about 3-5 miles from where I live, and just as an around town/recreational bike as I live in a very bicycle friendly city (Boulder, Colorado). It will primarily be used on the road but I would like to be able to take it out on some dirt trails, probably something you could push a stroller on.
I was looking at the TREK 7.1 FX but before I purchase anything since I know zilch about bikes in general now, I was curious if anyone knew of anything better suited for my needs? I am willing to spend no more then $500 MAX.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
