I live atop a hill and biking is not an option I care to engage
in. Groovy bikes. But she's much younger and has been biking for years.

Anne,
I don't think I'd bike where you live with narrow road shoulders and so many semis. My Focus gets good mileage and it isn't all that small. It's great for me. I only use it for running errands, shopping and church. But the church Groovy likes is 25 miles away.
