Thanks everyone for your help. I've decided on the Safari - I think that it is the best bike for my needs, and when I actually got on it the bike felt pretty good. The goofy handlebars look they are going to be exactly what I want.
Problem for me, though, they don't have any in my size at the moment (XL). Hopefully by the time they arrive at the distribution center I will have received my member coupon. Until then, I'll be training on my good old mountain bike.
Happy riding!
