Giant Escape 3

- okay reviews here and today. I'm going to be reviewing the Giant Escape. so I Think that the Giant Escape is kind of a sports commuter combo bike

Everything on this bike is entry level, it works/\s/pretty well. My Only concern is reliability.

I’m an idiot. I was totally out of the loop. I had a Giant Escape Disc 3 that I got early last year.

First comment here, I've been a lurker for 6 months and thanks to you all I got this Giant Escape for my new job commute (previously I was commuting on a road bike...but look at that path!). It's a short commute, just 2x 3.5Km / 2 milles, but makes me feel great everyday. Curiously I have never come across another bike on this section except on wekeends!

I plan to mostly use on our local bike trails and for riding around with my elementary-aged kids, who I'm hoping to ride more in the coming years. I haven't ridden much in years besides out Peloton. Just went down to my LBS and based on availability they recommended a Giant Escape 3 ($460) that will be in stock with them the first week in August.

I’ve got a Giant Escape 3 which seems comparable to this and I love it, the disc brakes are also nice. This is definitely good for the road, and will probably be fine on un-paved trails as long as you aren’t riding like a maniac.

Marin Kentfield 1, Giant Escape 3, Giant Escape 3 Comfort, and Liv Alight 3 Comfort. Our local area has a few hills, but nothing particularly steep.

Probably what you're looking for is a road-oriented hybrid like a Specialized Sirrus, Kona Dew, trek fx 3, Giant Escape, or something equivalent. Your local shop will deal in a few different brands and may have used stock from many other brands. Take your time and listen to the people in the shop is my best advice. they're very trustworthy in my experience.

Giant Escape is in that range. Hybrid aluminum frame, decent components. Makes a solid commuter and is fun to ride. I've been commuting on one for the last 6-7years. Worth a look if you can find them in stock.

The Giant Escape series is a nice aluminum frame hybrid does does good duty as a commuter. Decent components, relatively light, and geared pretty well for the climb you have. Under a $1000 last I looked. Trek FX series also worth a look.
