Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

All the main brands offer bikes around the $600 to $700 range. Or, you can look at a used bike. But, if you aren't an avid biker with experience or have a friend or family member with cycling experience, I'd first try your local bike shop (lbs) in regard to finding one that meets your needs in terms of type of riding and price range.
