Comparable to Specialized Crossroads Sport? - Cycling Mob: Road Cycling, Mountain Biking and More

Hi:

I'm old and fat and trying to get back into casual bicycling. An
accident I had a few years ago on my 18-year-old Wal-Mart Huffy
mountain bike, which was really too tall for me, has spooked me a
little. I broke my wrist and sprained my ankle just - get this -
dismounting on uneven ground. <hanging head in shame>

I am looking hard at the Specialized Crossroads Sport - from
everything I've heard and read, it would be about my speed, and in a
price range I could handle.

Are there comparable models in other brands I should check out as
well? For example, does Trek have something along those lines I
should be checking out?

Thanks,

Tracey
