Default Bike suggestion

Greetings,

I am thinking of purchasing a bike. I like the hybrid type,
more comfortable than a road bike and more efficient than a
mountain one. I do not need flashy features, and would
rather have my money well spent on quality and reliability.
For example, I do not really need 21 speeds. Could you
suggest makes/models in the $200-300 range? Do you think
buying used is a good idea?

have a good day.

-Josh

Have you actually ridden a road bike? I keep hearing people
say "I want something more comfortable than a road bike". I
am not sure what they mean. A good road bike has multiple
hand positions. It can be ridden nearly uprate or, if riding
into the wind, down in a crouch. Its faster and more
manuverible and easier to ride.
