Remember, you can get disc brakes on a cyclox, and trus me those make a hell of a difference.Originally Posted by jkw
You can also get by with 28c tires, for most uses, including your dirt trail, as long as it isnt loose. 32cs might be useful, but either way, as long as it has a bit of knobbliness, you should be fine
Edit, that's a sexy bike lake wolf... I'm very jealous
Here are some of mine...
Ahhh Bianchi ....

I have one of these (Trek 2100): http://www.hodsonsbay.com/images/otherimages/2100-s.jpg for excercise and having fun.
I have a A Rocky Mountain Stratos that I barely ride at all anymore (do they even make hard tail MTB's anymore?).
And I am about to pull the trigger on one of these: http://www.norco.com/bikes/city-and-...io-vista-mens/ to go to the store and such. Need that chain guard for the grocery getter.
Moral of the story is there is really no bike that will do everything you want. But, the best way to go for an all rounder is something like the first one posted.

I bought my daughter one of these:
She is nearly ten, but hasn't learned to ride a bike and yesterday was day-one of trying, without training wheels. I am now one step closer to pulling the trigger on one of my own.
I am torn between spending a few hundred bucks on a decent bike that I will replace if I stick with it, or just pulling the trigger on one of these:

If you're reasonably certain that you'll upgrade, then I don't think there's much sense not getting the bike you want, if you can. That will make it more likely that you'll use it.
Also, how did your daughter get to be 10 without learning to ride?

We lived in a neighborhood without many large parks and a lot of street traffic.

Those Rivendells are kind of cool in an old school Fredilicious sort of way.
One thing I regret is not spending more when getting back into cycling.
If you think you'll stick with it, go for broke and get something nice.
