I can't speak to the CityRide, but I had the Continental TownRide on my commuter for about 4000 miles and have all good things to say about them. Almost zero flats, excellent ride quality, decent handling and rolling resistance. I tended to ride them overinflated to assist rolling resistance, and they were still comfy.
It looks like the new CityRideII is about 50% heavier at the same size, which should mean even better flat resistance, but probably not a 'fast' tire.
At that price, though, how could you go wrong?
