[QUOTE="astrodudepsu, post: 12966993, member: 52761"] Thanks for the input guys. From the reading I've done, I want to target the Hybrid type of bikes. I'm not thrilled with the seating position of a traditional road bike, but I also don't want to pedal a steel-framed mountain bike on a relatively nice paved surface. And so the Hybrid type bikes seem like the best compromise. We will be riding primarily for exercise but that will double as leisure. The trail is over 45 miles long from end to end, and maybe one day we'd ride the 90 miles but I suspect that 10-20 mile rides will be far more common. I don't plan to be on this thing all day, and certainly don't plan on doing any sort of competitive racing. I would prefer more than 1 gear, although the trail is pretty flat so I don't need a ton of gearing options. 10-18 would be sufficient, but if my choices are 21+ or 1, I'd choose 21+. I'll check that link out. There are a TON of bike stores in NoVA (I was surprised given how few people bike to work) so I would certainly try to find a deal locally first. [/QUOTE]
