Another vote for a 90's rigid mountain bike...they make great urban bikes for short-or longer urban use. With street tires (Schwalbe Big Bens, Big Apples, Maxxis DTH's, Continental Contact Speed) you'll get great handling and have a ride robust enough to take on any city street bumps or bruises along your path. Lots of them around. Relatively inexpensive. All kinds of fender and rack mounts. Room for fenders AND 2 inch tires. I have a Trek 970 converted to touring use. Awesome bike..fun, cushy, fast ride that's comfortable all day.
