Are there specific reasons you say you wouldn't want to ride a mountain bike around TV? Appreciate the advice and will definitely keep it in mind. But here’s my thinking. Please feel free to point out the error of my ways...

I really only want a single bike, at least for now. I'd ride around TV mostly for fun and exercise. Really wouldn't care about max speed. And I thought being able to leave the path in a pinch might even be a bit safer...not that that's really a major concern of mine. Finally, I (and my wife) want to try some beginner trails and maybe work our way up a bit. We love that sort of stuff.

What do you think?

(By the way, I have found a few 29er mountain bikes in XXL...I believe the Rockhopper was one.)
