By the way, how do you like the Trek Hybrid?

Haven't really used it enough to form an opinion, plus I don't know that
much about modern bicycles. When I was looking for a new bicycle, the Trek
name was recommended in many reviews, so I decided on it. It *is*
reasonably comfortable and so far seems to be well made.
The Hybrid is designed for both road use and casual off-road trail use. It
can be converted to a true "mountain bike" by changing the rims and tires.
I doubt I'll ever need to.

Trek is either the last, or one of the last American made bicycles. The big
names (Schwinn, etc.) are mostly importers now of bikes built in China.
Lance Armstrong used a Trek in several of his Tour de France victories.

Despite 7 months of daily, fairly rigorous exercise, bicycle pedaling uses a
whole new combination of muscles and takes some getting used to.
