The Trek is lighter. It's a fitness bike that makes you work. The Specialized has a softer saddle, easier shifting, and upright seating. That's why it's called a comfort bike.

It's a better commuting bike. It's got everything for the urban environment: fenders to keep water from your clothes, a suspension T-post, suspension fork for comfort, a back-rack, integrated urban lock, front and rear lights, and 24 gears. And the handlebars are raised to sit you upright, which means you lose some leverage, but you see traffic better and it gives you exercise without horrible pain.

Well, this happened last summer. It required 20 staples, and inside the elbow, there's an 8-millimeter screw.

We do have a bunch of great fitness options.

It helps them work on individual fitness.

I am back to the level I was before an injury. I've used the time to work on my fitness.
