I'm looking for a bike. I don't even really know what kind. I don't want to spend more than $700. I'm looking for it mainly to ride around on local bike trails, do a small amount of off-road biking, but mostly on paved trails. I've been looking mainly at hybrids (like a road bike with slightly wider tires and a bulkier frame), but I'm wide open to anything -- except recumbents. I still have my pride.

Where should I be shopping, what should I be shopping for, does anyone have a bike they want to sell? I know there are some cycling enthusiasts on here. Point me in a good direction.
