I came to conclusion to sell my car, turn in all plates, and cancel insurance. Keep my license valid, in case I need to rent a car. But since most of my work/studies at the moment is done at home and local commutes is always under 10 miles. I am using the cost of savings as my motivation with a benefit of loosing weight.
I found that doing classes out of the home and in Starbucks/Park is a major help (One way 3-5 miles). So I will being doing at least 6-10 miles a day and an estimated of 75-100 miles a week. The roads/sidewalks in my area are either smooth as glass or construction. I been looking at a few bikes, that will last me five years and that I can grow on. After my AS degree is finished I would like to possibly ride to University of Tampa, about 23 miles one way.
I mostly been looking at the following Treks; mostly the Lance connections and always wanting one.
Trek 7.5 FX Disk
Trek 8.5 DS (This looks like it would smooth out the rough areas around town, but still be quick)
It's been a few years since I been on a bike and the last bike I had was a full suspension Mongoose that was not the greatest on pavement. What's your opinions on the above bikes or should I open up my eyes and look else where?
