        I bought this bike to pull my two boys in a Chariot trailer. Fits the bill perfectly for riding around town towing 70 pounds of trailer and boy, on rides of 5 to 15 miles. Comfortable, quick, smooth shifting, and all for a great price.

        Comments about Diamondback Insight Hybrid Bike - 2012 Special Buy:

        Returned it one week after buying it because the pedals were both cracked with one end about to fall off. One of the grips kept slipping. A brake pad was rubbing against the rim and the front derailleur didn't shift well at times.

        It handles well and was a fast, easy ride. Worked both on asphalt as well as dirt paths.

        If you don't mind upgrading the components it might be worth it, but you could probably just pay that same amount to get a more reliable bike.
