Comfort Bikes

Comfort bikes are a lot like MTB's with smoother tread road tires, higher handlebars and often a seat post shock. They are a good choice if you are looking for a comfortable bike to ride for errands, leisure and fitness riding around town or on streets, easy trails, and occasional short road trips. They are not high performance bikes. They are not as comfortable as recumbent bikes but are les expensive and easier to get used to on your first ride.

Hybrid Bikes

Hybrids are like comfort bikes with skinnier tires. (That was simple.) They cannot be fitted with wide tires for off road riding. They are faster on pavement than MTB's or comfort bikes, but not as fast as road bikes or most recumbents. A bit less rugged than the wide tired comfort bikes hybrids are still suitable for leisure and fitness riding around town or on smother streets, easy trails, and occasional road trips. If you buy a hybrid bike you have committed yourself to pavement or dirt road riding, they can not be converted for serious off-road mountain biking.

Keith, our service manager rides a bike to work most days. Recently switched from his ~20 year old steel Takara to a new 2004 Fuji “Supreme” Hybrid. He set Fuji up as an all weather commuter bike by adding fenders, a luggage rack, lights and a kickstand. When he was done he found it weighed about 4 pounds less than old Takara, which had the same accessories installed. The Fuji’s aluminum frame and the components that came with it are engineered for lightness so the Fuji was lighter, even with a suspension fork and tougher wheels! Keith is delighted with the new bike. He went from 12 speeds to 24 speeds, got a more comfortable and rugged bike with a suspension fork, GripShift shifters and super powerful V-brakes. Best of all he didn’t spend a fortune and dropped some weight at the same time.

Price range

We stock Fuji comfort and hybrid bikes. We chose Fuji because they are a stable company with a great reputation. They allow us to offer excellent values starting at under $300. Feature for feature and dollar for dollar we don’t think you can beat the quality, durability and ride quality of a Fuji.
Every quality bike is designed with a type of riding in mind. If you consider what you will be doing with a bike before purchase you can get a bike that matches your riding. Find a shop you trust, get informed, do some test riding and you should have "miles of smiles" before you.
