I still like the Raleigh bikes for price/value. Trek, Giant...there are many solid brands out there. You should be able to get an aluminum mountain/road hybrid for $500 or less. They look like a mountan bike but has smoother tires. You can ride them anywhere; a road bike is only good on SMOOTH roads. Clipless pedals, a better seat, shoes, etc. will add to the cost and you can do some of that later as you build up and decide you want to ride more..
