Thanks for the replies.
I'm not really interested in mountain biking, and would only pursue this activity if friends were going. If I head into the woods, it's to hike, not bike. I already have an older Trek 820 mountain bike that I could use as well.
Thus, the hybrid bike seems like a nice option. The Trek options (7000-7500) seem like nice options, and I'll likely be heading to a bike store in the near future to take a look at them in person.
Right now I am trying to decide between buying a used motorcycle or bicycle. A motorcycle is a larger investment, but it's also something I haven't experienced yet and know I would enjoy immensely, whereas I've ridden bikes for a large portion of my life, but enjoy the opportunity to turn riding into a physical activity instead of relying on a motor.
In regards to comfort... I'm likely more concerned about comfort on a motorcycle than a bicycle and am transferring that concern to my bicycle considerations. I'm about 6' 2", but haven't really had comfort issues in the past with any bicycle I've ridden.
If anyone has any additional comments or individual bike model recommendations, please share them.
