After my trek was stolen, I purchased a schwinn hybrid at Target thinking I was gettng this bike.
It sucked. so I returned and purchased this one from amazon.
Got it fast.
Easy to put together out of the box.. not too heavy.. a nice ride to and from work.
Wheels not to skinny, not too fat...Handles the streets and bumps well
For the money its well worth it. Big difference between the 26" and 700c wheels..

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Commuter Bike, November 18, 2011

Great bike for the price. I'm a novice who has never built a bike before, but it only took me about 90 minutes to finish assembly using the how-to videos on Schwinn's website. Since then I've been using this as a daily commuter bike to get to school four days a week and I've been really satisfied by its performance. It's fast, responsive, and does great with the rough streets I have to deal with between my house and campus (the front shock does an especially good job of plowing over small potholes; I barely have to slow down). The overall performance is great and I don't have any major complaints.

If I had to say there were negatives, one would be that there really isn't anywhere on the bike to mount a u-lock; after buying a lock and trying to install the mount I discovered the bike's body is too small to accommodate the lock, but I solved that by getting a cable lock instead (the handlebar riser is actually the perfect size to coil a cable around). The bike also comes pretty bare bones and needed some additional hardware to really work as a commuter; I installed an aftermarket headlight, taillight, and rear cargo rack to make it more practical. However, I don't really consider that as a point against the bike because (a) I don't know of any bikes at this pricepoint that come fully loaded, and (b) it was actually nice to pick out my own equipment and customize the bike anyway, so it's actually almost a positive.

Overall I'm very happy with my purchase and I'd recommend this bike for anyone looking for an inexpensive, reliable commuter.

I bought this beautiful bike that is very comfortable to ride. I was smart enough to have it assembled by my local bike shop.
I really enjoy riding this bike. It does not have a rear fender for splashes in puddles, so I borrowed the fender off my old bike to protect my clothes.
