Personally, I'd worry that the European bikes mentioned above would be thief magnets if left at a metro station all day.

+1 that new trek is great looking. Some of the dutch style city bikes are really really heavy, I don't know what the Trek weighs but it's worth looking into.

The other cool thing about the trek, it comes with a 3 speed hub but has a derailleur tab so it is flexible in gearing options.
