Hi! I’d like to buy a bike for cycling with my son on the weekends. It’s purely for riding on bike paths. My question is twofold. Is this a good bike for leisure riding, and is this a decent price?

No. CAADs are an aggressive race bike. Look for a synapse
at 5’6 a 52cm bike will definitely be too big for you. I’d look for a 47-48 cm endurance bike. Like the other poster said, the CAAD10 is a race bike with an aggressive geometry (Very long reach, very short stack for a forward leaning riding position).
An endurance bike or hybrid bike would suite your purposes better.
You sure you want get a race bike for leisure riding? I would recommand a city bike or a hardtail mtb so you still have the option to ride on some cravel or in the forest.
