Does anybody on here own one of these bikes? I'm having a hard time deciding between the two.
Here's the websites to take a look:
Specialized:

Cannondale:
http://www.cannondale.com/2012-quick-womens-4-21041
I plan on using the bike for commuting, paved path, somewhat sandy path, and very light mountain biking.
I know the Specialized has the shocks on the front (with lock out) so that will help with some cushioning. The Cannondale has a carbon blades fork, which I don't know if that would be a bad idea if I hit some bumps.
I have ridden them both and like them both. I think the Cannondale might be a better bike overall but maybe not for my needs.The price also scares me a little (afraid of having it stolen which would be devastating).
Anybody have any input?
Thanks : )
