All, My mother has a 3 speed bicycle that she rides around town on. She gets some groceries, visits friends, rides to the gym, that sort of thing. She's really taken to cycling and she's taken the bike on some longer rides, probably 30 miles at the longest. She wants to do more of this. She wants to ride up big hills, she wants to ride on groomed dirt paths, she wants to get even more groceries, she wants to go riding with friends; basically she wants a do it all bike that is comfortable, user friendly and will get her up that big hill coming up. She'd also like a mixte/step through because she is getting older and it's much easier to mount those sorts of frames.
The 3 speed just isn't cutting it for those longer rides. I ask you, members of this lovely list, what sort of bicycle does this lady need? I know the obvious choice would be a Betty Foy but she is squeamish about the price tag. I really think she should get one but she just doesn't want to spend that much money on anything, be it a bike or whatever else might cost that much. I am well aware that the bikes are worth the money and I've told her that. She just doesn't want a bike that nice. So, does anyone have any suggestions? I honestly cannot think of a single bike she could buy off the rack that would fit the bill and look good doing it.
