My days of flying down hills, jumping logs, and smashing my head against a boulder are over. However I'm not quite ready for a beach cruiser full time yet. Looking for suggestions on a comfortable hybrid, more of a upright ride, but still be able to get after it if needed. Pictures and comments would be awesome..

How about something like a 29er HT with skinny tires?

You can still have a second wheelset in case you want to ride off-road

I use a trek DS (Dual Sport), absolutely love it.

I'm a Trek rider myself.

I did the same a few years ago (or more-LOL)....I bought a Salsa La cruz (Cyclocross bike) and raised the stem, added additional brake levers on the top side to make it more comfortable. I've owned many bikes but this one I actually love. I've tried to go the same route for my son and I'm having a hard time finding what I'm looking for. The hybrid bikes are too 'soft' for harder riding and mountain bikes are overkill.

Let us know what you find!

Thanks for all the input so far. I have some research to do...
