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

1,000,000 TREK BIKE RECALLED
Trek Bicycle is recalling about one million bikes for a safety issue. The safety issue of concern has caused one bike rider to become paralyzed according to a CNN report on Wednesday. The bicycles that are being recalled have a quick release lever on the front of the bicycle’s wheel. The quick release lever can interfere with the disk brakes on the vehicle. That interference can cause the wheel to stop turning or separate from the bike’s frame.
This is not a Trek part. In fact other brands use it. There will be more recalls most likely from other brands. BTW this means the wheel was already loose or improperly attached so there was already a risk of the wheel separating. The issue is the contact with the brake disk and locking the front wheel up. If you have rim brakes there is no issue.
