I want a bike to get from here to there, and I know for sure that I don’t want mountain bike handlebars (the straight-across kind) because they make my hands go numb. I also need some gears since the area has inclines. I know there are a lot of flat tire “cruisers,” but are they the best bet for various commutes? What about weight, materials and bells and whistles? I haven’t owned a bike in a long time, and I’m pretty ignorant of the options.
