I agree, hybrid. You can get a good one, Trek for example for less than $400. Keep in mind, if you are buying brand new, you will not get all the best components you want for $400. I suggest checking the internet or your local trader or newspaper. A lot of times people spend good money on a nice bike and they either can't commit to riding it or just dont' have time. They spend the $600 or $700+ on the bike and now just want to get rid of it. Check it out first and if you can, run it by a bike shop like you would a car to get it checked out and tuned up. As others have already stated, usually the more you spend, the lighter the bike. You don't want a department store bike that weighs a ton. No fun at all and the components will wear out fast.
I bought my wife a Trek and I purchased a Gary Fisher. They are both good bikes. I need to take my own advice and get slicks on my bike.
