Electra Townie
I got an Electra Townie in April and am very happy with it. I ride it a lot and have gotten a lot stronger and faster and am now looking at getting an entry level roade bike. I definitely don't regret getting it but I outgrew it quickly. I thought my back couldn't handle this stuff but I was wrong. There is a cheaper alternative called the Sun Drifter at about $300 as opposed to $500 and up. It is also a very comfortable pedal forward design.
