Looks like a new entry level 1X hybrid from Nishiki, the Cordova. I may get one of these as a spare bike, or a loaner. Anyone own or ridden one?

Can't see much from the pixelated image from the non-drive side but knowing Nishiki these days it would be a beyond hard pass.

List for $599, I rolled it around a bit when I was picking shoes at the sporting goods store.

It is an expensive bike for what they are giving you. A box store bike with bottom end components from a brand that was never that great and now is at their lowest point. I would still skip it. You are approaching or in some cases at the bottom end of a bike store bike for that price which has warranties and support behind it and is built at a shop. I wouldn't pay the same amount to get less that just doesn't work for me at all.

Congrats on the new bike! Have you had a chance to get a few rides in yet? We're having terrific riding weather here in the Mid-Atlantic area and the forecast promises another nice week coming up.
