Dan's Picks
These are the bikes I personally recommend. I've ridden them, tested them, and I stand behind every one.
"I only recommend bikes I'd be happy to sell to a friend. Every bike here has been tested on real roads, with real loads, in real weather. No affiliate deals, no paid placements - just honest recommendations."
