Agree with 2Old. Be sure to get something you like and you'll be more inclined to ride it often. As you ride you'll learn more about your preferences (bike trails, paved paths, etc.) and possible limitations of the bike you have. If you like the bike and it suits your needs fantastic! If not perhaps some simple upgrades (tires, grips, etc) would will work or now being more educated/informed you'll add to your bike collection with a specialized bike that allows you do to a little more. Best of luck! And let us know what you decide and post some pics!
