Hey all! First post here, lol. I was looking for a quality commuter bike, preferably hybrid as my route can get kind of bumpy. Any recommendations?

First off, as with all things, It depends on your budget! So if you give us an idea of that we could help a bit.

There are tons of great hybrid options and the features essentially scale to the miles you'll ride it. When I was looking a found the Giant Escape like and the Trek FX line to be a great combination of features/price. Specialized had some nice offerings too but it was mid-covid when bikes were hard to come by, and I never got to try one in my size. Trek had a (very) slight edge on components at the time, but Giant uses slightly larger tires which makes a much bigger difference than you'd think for bumps.

I looked at both and ultimately went with the Trek FX 3 and I love it. I've had it going on two years now and I've put about two thousand miles on it so far.
