I bought each of my kids the Trek Marlin 6 when they turned 16. Great quality bikes. I was going to buy one for myself, but after riding my Dad’s hybrid I couldn’t believe how comfortable it was. My dad is 77 years old, and rides 10-15 miles a day. I see why now. Super comfortable ride.... so... the hybrid is for me, and now I ride a lot more and enjoy it. But.....that’s just me.
