Recommend me a bike
I hope you experts can recommend me a bike, I've just spent some time browsing the forum but I'm still conflicted!
I recently got back into cycling and have been doing 15kms every three/ four days, all of the cycling in on paved roads and I try to maintain a fastish speed. I currently don't own a bike so I have to keep renting one. I'm looking for a bike that can ''do it all'' and because of the Covid situation my options are limited due to supply.
I don't want a road bike, I prefer disc brakes but not necessary, thicker/ wider tyres would be nice to add some comfort and I don't need suspension. Bearing in mind that I am not an expert on bike jargon but I've tried to narrow my search:
1. Specialized Sirrus 1.0 or 2.0 (Sirrus X are sold out)
2. Specialized Roll
3. Specialized Crossroads
Cannondales, Brodie, Norco are sold out. My budget is around $700-$800 CAD. If you have any suggests / ideas - I look forward to your input!

I love my Trek hybrid I have had for 4 years. Its fast enough for me to keep up with some riders who are not in the greatest shape riding the more expensive Trek, Specialized, and Giant Roadbikes. Its versatile can ride on many different surfaces , and compact enough to fit in my car.

It is tough this day and age to ride "em all. I bought a Sirrus X-4 last week, it was the only option my LBS had in stock. Really pleased so far, but it was more than I budgeted
