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 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.
