Hello! I have been hybrid bike shopping & am stuck btwn the GIANT Cypress 2 and the TREK Verve 3.
The main purpose would be local asphalt trails, nothing wild, just trying to have something comfortable to ease me into biking for exercise & leisure.
Any opinions on either of these? I rode each of them but I just can't decide!!!🥲
Thankyou!

Any Texas Bourbon drinkers? Husband and I are looking to replace our go to favorite, Witherspoon, since it went defunct. Very much looking for a sipping whiskey that's less pain in the wallet than Garrison, but doesn't have to be used as a mixer like most we've tried.

How do you try new bikes? A car you can jump in, move the seat and drive around. A bike needs a fit(something for another post), time and it’s impossible to ride all brands to see what “feels” best. Love my local bike shop, but they only sell Trek and are obviously biased.
