which bike for the mrs.. casual countryside rides

CamperMan · 2014-04-10 21:32:29

Hi, the mrs has a Scott Sporster 60 http://www.thebikelist.co.uk/images/models/Scott/2012/sportster-30/Main.jpg , she finds it uncomfortable riding on distances of 12 miles, she looks all stretched out on it, even though the bike shop suggested this was the correct size for her.. I was thinking a bike like this Dawes…

Hi,

the mrs has a Scott Sporster 60 http://www.thebikelist.co.uk/images/models/Scott/2012/sportster-30/Main.jpg , she finds it uncomfortable riding on distances of 12 miles, she looks all stretched out on it, even though the bike shop suggested this was the correct size for her.. I was thinking a bike like this Dawes http://www.evanscycles.com/products/dawes/cambridge-mixte-2014-womens-hybrid-bike-ec046541 would be more suitable for a leisurely ride in the country with it's more upright riding position..

what do you think?

My Mrs. got a Dawes Duchess which is similar to what you linked to. She preferred it as it is 'step through' and means she doesn't have to climb on to it. She finds it great for a leisurely spin with the kids.
