My ex BF works for Trek bikes, so I'm a little partial to that brand as they make great bikes. I have a mt. and a road bike, but I would suggest you get a hybrid - great for riding around the city and they are comfortable. I would caution you away from supposed 'comfort' bikes and 'comfort' seats - they are actually UNcomfortable after you've been on the bike for a while! I would HIGHLY recommend you go to a local reputable bike shop to learn about bikes, get fitted, etc. I would also recommend you get a 21 speed if you'll be riding any hills - you'll regret a 3 speed unless it's flat, flat, flat.
I had a great ride today myself, and I wish you lots of luck with your bike shopping.
