I have been trying to ride many of the Pa rail trails, and some of them are really awesome, with great history along many of them. Have rode a couple trails in West Virginia, Ohio, and one in Virginia, which was the High Bridge trail. I'm going to bet you will like the Verves. And I think you will like them even more switching out the tires to something around 38's. As I said in an earlier post I noticed no difference in comfort going from the stock 45's to the Marathon 38's, but a noticeable difference in faster speed for the same amount of work. Most all the rail trails I have ridden on are well maintained, and don't see the need for wider tires for a more comfortable ride.
