We have had our Trek bikes for several months now and feel we are qualified to finally give a review on them.
We both agree that we would never ride, let alone buy, another generic bike. Spending the extra money on a quality bicycle like the Trek Navigator 2.0 that we own, has definetly been worth it. We both opted to go with the men’s bike because Silke preferred this one over the women’s style. “It looks way cooler!”
This particular model of bike is a hybrid between a street bike and a cross-country bike. We haven’t been doing much off-road riding, since we’ve had Nick’s 8 year old son living with us all summer, but it’s nice to not feel restricted to where we can ride. The bikes ride very smooth and the larger than usual seats make it very comfortable for longer outings.
Living in Alexandria, Minnesota, we are very fortunate to have a well maintained bike trail just a few blocks away. We have certainly taken advantage of it, besides riding around our neighborhood. By the way, riding your bike up and down the same streets every day is a good way to meet your neighbors.
At the same time we bought our Trek bikes we also purchased the Thule bike rack for two.
It is very light weight and is easy to mount onto the trunk of our Ford Focus, plus we think it looks pretty awesome having matching bikes hanging off our car.
Hey guys, I came across your blog by chance and love it. I’ve had a Trek navigator 1.0 for several years now and love my bike, I ride it almost every day to and from work. It’s funny, I opted for the men’s style as well.
