Thanks for all the responses. Transport to CA is covered with the move, so I'm not too worried about that. My thinking was that since I had some spare time now it made sense to start getting familiar; especially since I haven't ridden a bike in about 15 years.

Yeah, I realized there are a few different types there. Mainly because I didn't know what would be best suited for my intended use. And I'm not really sure how I'd try some out without buying and returning a bunch. I guess I was kind of hoping someone would pick one of those and say, "this looks like the best of those options" or "forget those, here's what you should look for."
Thanks again everybody. And I'll definitely look up the Irvine Bike Club once I'm out there.
