I went to another LBS this week. I didn't have time to ride any bikes because my toddler was a maniac. But they have Giants and Rocky Mountain (I think) hybrids. They are a bit pricier than the ones I looked at before but I think they are good brands. I honestly don't know how to choose. I think the Rocky Mountain one that he was talking about was about $630.

What makes one bike better than another? Or is it just how it feels to ride?
