Newbie questioning type of bike to purchase

[Fredwina]

I think "hybrid" covers a lot of ground. I was think about that since today was the first day I could ride in 6 weeks due to an injury. It took a while to get my balance, but I was riding a Cannondale with 25MM tires. Try both the comforts as well as the flat bar roadies!

I purchased a Gary Fisher Nirvana for about $430.00. I just love it. I knew nothing about bikes when I bought it ,and the guy at the bike store picked it out for me. I now ride 30 miles at a time on it ,and I plan on doing a 40 mile ride Oct. 8th (with my new friend Darcy) who I met thru this wonderful site. Its a great beginner bike ,but I'm plan on getting a rode bike in March (TREK Pilot 2.1)...anyone have one of these????
Question...how do you get pictures to show up....I cant seem to do color ,or picture?
