The Midmoor has pretty good reviews for a bike available through Amazon and some big-box stores, and has gotten good reviews from Consumer Reports also. You might also consider a bike from Trek's FX series or Cannondale's Quick series. Have fun!

A FX was the second bike I got after we got Pure's. Nice bikes, though I think mine's getting lonely. It's been a bit neglected lately.

Didn't see the original post date....
