Bicycles-recommendations?
Thinking of getting new bicycles. We are older now & certainly don't need a gagillion speeds. Any recommendations would be appreciated. THX

Go to a competent bike dealer and get a properly fitted bike! You will be lot happier with that than one from Walmart. They will not try to up-sell you and will fit you with the most economical bike for your needs. A comfortable fit is the more important than anything, including price.
Trek has some reasonably priced, well built bikes. We have a couple of older Giant's, that we use in AZ in the winter. We bought a pair of Trek's a little over a year ago, but leave them home rather than abuse them. They are head and shoulders above the Giant's in quality, performance, and comfort.
+1 on a local bike shop. I'm a former bike mechanic and the quality of bike (and hopefully service) you get will be far greater that a big box store. Look at any leftover deals from the previous year and make sure they fit the bike for you. You may spend a little bit more, but you can get something that you'll truely enjoy roding in the $250-350 range or cheaper if you can get a deal.
