Hi Sally Pete, No I didn't test ride one as the shop was closing for the day soon. There are lots of hills in my area so I wanted more than 3x7 gears and a seat that allowed for more forward riding position. Also lots of gravel and bumps so I'd like to get a front suspension. So I'm looking at the Specialized Ariel Sport or Sport St and Trek DS or Neko instead.
