[QUOTE="Torch10th, post: 12967076, member: 15703"] I think you'd be surprised how quickly that 45 miles will melt away. Last summer I commuted to work via bike. With traffic, the 4.5 mile one way ride took approximately 25 minutes. On a dedicated bike path where you're not waiting on traffic, lights and riding through neighborhoods, 30 minutes of biking will probably take you around 6 miles at a leisurely pace. The hybrid bikes are a really good compromise. There's a ton you can do with them. If you know you're going to be pavement only, you can put a more road oriented tire on it that requires a bit less effort and will reward you with a bit more speed. Conversely, if you know there is a slight off-road trail on your way, you can put a bit more of an off-road oriented tire on it as well. I don't know much about the Kona bikes, but I do enjoy my Trek. It is a bit over the $500.00 price range you were looking at however. If I recall correctly, I paid about $680 after taxes for mine.
