In any case, I tried a few bikes and I ended up getting the Giant Escape 2. I tried the large frame which was too big (not enough room between the top tube and my junk), then I tried medium and it seems to be a good fit.

Bikesdirect doesn't ship to Canada, and the girl at the LBS said the Giant Escape City was discontinued. So I bought the Escape 2 (cheapest one) and I'm planning to add the fenders, rear rack, etc.

It's a really fun ride! So much lighter than my old crappy mountain bike from Canadian Tire!

I got rim brakes instead of disc brakes, just because of the price difference between the Giant and the bikes with disc brakes. Hopefully this is ok for riding in the rain, I guess I'll find out.
