Hey man - I would check around at some of your local bike shops. Trek, Fuji, and Schwinn all have great entry level bikes. I still ride a Schwinn, but am getting to the point where I need to upgrade, but I've been on this beauty for 5 years. Make sure you get fit properly, or you will be miserable in the saddle. I'd suggest establishing a relationship with a local shop, and don't let them talk you into something out of your range. There are many a bike shop, and if they look down on you or give you grief about your price range, you don't want to be working with them. Good luck!
