If you are going to get a new (or new to you) bike I would second Aberkok's idea of a hybrid bike. While the lightness of the street bike is great, I've never found them study enough to take the pounding I give them going over curbs, hitting the occasional sewer grate, going through pot holes, etc. They are great for long rides but not so hot for urban warfare, in my opinion.
