Bicycle
Last weekend, while my export-from-hell was running, I went bike shopping. I've got it narrowed down to a Giant Sedona,
Specialized Expedition (2002 model), or the Bianchi Boardwalk. The first two come in under $300. The latter under $600.

Anyone have any reccomendations?

Where you live, you'd probably prefer a more roady bike than a more mountany one; I'm guessing you're going to be spending a lot of time on the flats and on pavement.
That was my
