East Hill, Haven't gotten to the stage of choosing a bike yet. I think my first step is to visit the three LBSs that are within a long walk or short ride of me, and see how well they handle a noob. It's nice to have a fount of info like this forum, so I can go in as a noob but secretly know more than I let on. At the moment I think my SECOND bike might be a Breezer Uptown, but that'll probably change. I might go the "used" route for my first, if one of the stores has something decent they'll stand behind. - Chris
