Has anyone bought a great on/off road comfort bicycle/bike lately?

Question

I have an old Huffy Cruiser that I bought waaaaayyyy back in 1986. It's the kind you push the pedal back to brake, one speed, etc. It's been ridden all over the place! I also have a mountain bike I bought about 10 years ago, but haven't used it much at all since it's not very comfortable. I'd like to get a nicer bike to ride on the bike path by work at lunchtime, and wondered what other people were riding. Something comfortable that can also handle gravel and occasional dirt paths would be great.

I have done a little research and found Sedona by Giant. It's supposed to be comfortable, but have mountain-bike-style tires, so can go on dirt paths too which would be just about perfect. Has anyone tried this or a similar bike out? Where did you purchase your ride?

Thanks so much, in advance, for your time! :)

Answer 1

We used to carry Giant, and they are known for quality, though it's gone down since the 1990s.

If you want to spend more money and get something a little better, the Trek Navigator 2.0 is also good for comfort. Or the Trek Soho is an excellent hybrid as well. But the Giant Sedona is good, it's up to you.

Answer 2

Just bought the Giant Sedona DX about a month ago and really am enjoying it.Very comfortable and easy to ride.Great on trails or pavement.Has a hybrid tire for different surfaces.So much more comfortable of a sitting position compared to a mountain bike but at the same time it looks pretty much like a mountain bike.

Answer 3

The Sedona  sounds about what you want.  It doesn't have the knobby tires that are pain on the road but good for the trails.  All of the bike manufactures will have a version of this bike. These bikes have a more upright seating then the mountain bike.

Here is what I bought.
