DU bicyclists: what kind of bike should I buy?
Advertisements [?]
I live in a historic section of Orlando, less than a mile from the center of downtown. Many of our streets are brick and more than a bit bumpy, and they are often congested. I'm trying to find a bike for under $300 that allows me to sit upright (easier to see traffic that way, and easier on my joints), isn't too heavy and can handle the brick streets without shaking me up too much. I'll be using it for basic transportation around town (grocery shopping, trips to the library, meeting friends at local cafes) not long treks in the country. So far I've found this:

Your thoughts/ ideas?

Thanks!
