Hello
Been lurking a while just taking everything in. I will be ready to buy a bike with a vacation payout I will be receiving in a couple weeks. I will need everything and will be looking to spend 400-600 in the Grand Rapids, MI(for those that know the LBS). I mainly want to get into biking for fitness(30-60minutes), and may commute to work(5 miles), and lazy rides around the neighborhood.

The help I need is what kinds of bikes should I be looking at, hybrids?(brands and models). What accessories are necessary? Basically looking for a budget breakdown on how I should spend my money.

Thanks for the help
Matt
