Re: Any cyclists?
I own a hybrid and a mountain bike from a company called Specialized. I've also owned ones by Trek. Those are both good companies.
The price point for qaulity bikes seems to be around $300. If you can afford that price I'd pay it. Of course you can easily spend $1K or more. Make sure you plan some extra funds for a few accessories because you'll probably need them. In late winter B&M bike shops will be unloading last year's models and you can get a $300 bike for $220 or so around here. I've never bought online though so I have no clue there.
If I wasn't sure whether to go road, hybrid, or street ... I'd go hybrid and plan on selling if it doesn't work out. A quality bike is easy to sell which allows you to get into something else down the road. It really all depends on what you want to do. Since it sounds like exercise for you any style will work, but don't buy a hybrid or mtn bike if your goal is to get from point A to point B fast on a road.
