I am new ti this riding into work lark....I decided on a Hybrid bike as I also want the bike for off road cycling with the missus..
I Cycle 15.1 miles into work alot of hills too, I found it quite an easy ride on the GT, in fact alot better than expected. I think the bike is stylish and mondern. I am suffering the soreness from the seat but I am told this is expected as last time i rode a bike was leisure in my teens, Im now 28.
The gears are smooth and easy to use, the brakes are really good too. The bike isnt heavy and Iam really pleased with it.
Happy riding

GT says
Street smarts pure and simple. New for 2010, the entry-level Traffic 4.0 packs all the commuting features you really need -- reflective paint, puncture-resistant tires, security hardware and a top-tube bumper --and puts them on an agile frame with a taller, more comfortable riding position.

About GT
GT Bicycles is a large American manufacturer of road, mountain, and bmx bicycles. GT mountain bikes are often readily identifiable by the unique "triple triangle" frame design present in most hard-tail designs. Early BMX frames were also easily identifiable as the top tube seemed to bisect the seat tube and protrude beyond it by approximately an inch-and-a-half towards the rear of the frame. This innovative idea was claimed to reduce the amount of vibration transferred to the seat fr
