  1. I want this bike. I have tried to google a price before I walk into an
    LBS and fall dead on the floor. How much does a bike like this cost?
    It looks so comfy and right for me. It is calling my name.

    The local Trek dealer (Cycle Center in Durham NC) has these in the
    $350-$400 range, depending on the usual variables.

    Thanks, now I can go into an LBS without feeling like a total jackass.
    I do not want to walk into an LBS and find out I want a 3,000 dollar
    bike. I just relized recently that bikes actually CAN cost $3,000.
    And the name TREK scared me. That price range is sweet. And do-able.
    Thanks.
    All Good Things,
    Maggie
    PS...Living in New Jersey a 350.00 dollar bike could cost 3 large. You
    never know. But I will give it a shot.

    I don't know for sure, but it looks pretty nice, and just being a Trek you
    KNOW it will be pricey!

    Oh come on now! It's not that bad, just for cruising around town! It's
    better than a lot of mtb's I have seen. And from what I have read about
    Maggie and the way she rides this might just be a great bike for her.

    Well, you are not me. You ride your kinda bike, I'll ride my kinda
    bike. I like it. I am not Lance Armstrong nor am I PeeWee, I am an old
    woman who is going to ride my bike around town, through parks, and on a
    few charity rides.

    I will also be riding my whole 3 miles to work as well. Maybe I will
    put some bells, streamers and and wicker basket on it when I buy it. I
    like those squeaky horns. A baseball card in the spokes might be
    interesting too. I'm a crazy old bat, I don't want a cookie cutter
    bike. I want a bike that reflects my personality. BIZARRE. And in my
    humble opinion, Pee Wee's bike was a really cool bike. And he loved it.
    That's what counts. We are not here to impress, we are here to enjoy.

  8. Maggie,

    I got my wife a Trek Navigator a couple of years ago and she loves it.

    When it's time to do it over, though, I'll probably be getting her
    something from these guys:

    http://www.electrabike.com/

    Giant Bicycles is also making some very nice looking cruisers right
    now:

    Cool bike! I'd like to see Maggie on that.

    Very interesting. I'd get fenders though.

    I love those bikes. Reminds me of the Strawberry Shortcake bikes I
    bought for my daughter. All pink and pretty.

    Don't know what that model costs, but if you're going the city bike route,
    go all the way and go for an internal transmission.

    The REI Novara Fusion has an eight speed hub, fenders, rack, built in
    lighting system with hub generator and automatic on/off.

    You can even get it in a girly step thru frame.

    $700US

    I want one.

    ahhh that looks nice too. "So many bikes, so little money." I can
    only pick one. Maybe this time I will have to actually think before I
    buy. Look before I leap. Pay down a charge before I max them all out.

    A bike like this is perfect for many people. I'd love to get one for my mom!
    There are millions of them in Europe and Japan, used by everyday folks for
    transportation. It's great to see an American bike company finally addresssing
    something other than the sport market.

    It's okay, she's sharing the road with a couple hundred other bikes.

    It's not actually a "highway" but the parallel Georgia (east bound)
    and Dunsmuir (west bound) viaducts each carrying three lanes of
    one-way traffic or 20,000 to 40,000 vehicles per day. The posted speed
    is 60 Kmh.

    Wow, thehick, you must be super cool. You do realize that Maggie is a mom
    who wants to ride a comfortable, functional bike for fitness, right? Not
    everybody wants an Orbea or a Litespeed. Some people need a bike that has an
    upright position and is comfortable.

    I'm seeing a lot of gals on cruisers out on the trails lately. Apparently the
    bike manufacturers figured out the rule of selling to women, they don't care it
    the stinking gadget looks good, they care how it makes them look. And the recent
    cruisers make 'em look as cool as that chick on the Velo Bella logo.
