Then came the hybrid, combining tall, medium-width tires and a broad seat with springs, allowing for an upright riding position. Now comes the ultimate body-coddling machine: the "comfort" model. It marries the seat, tires and upright ride of the hybrid with the shock absorption of the mountain bike. The industry's fastest-growing category, comfort bikes now make up 40% of the line at Raleigh and are becoming standard for other makers. "They've combined the technology...

Going to school far away from home forces you to try new things while at Harvard, going against a tendency you may have as a first-year to cling to old things as a comfort when you feel homesick. During your first year at college, you would most likely seek comfort in relying on old things and old friends. Being so far away from them will force you to learn to explore things you haven't tried before. Instead of calling on old friends when you miss home...
