Road bikes designed for women

[ccnyc]

My local terrain is somewhat hilly, but I'd like to be able to ride into the Palisades or take my bike on trips to hillier places.

I'm a NYC, and beyond, cyclist and I'd recommend getting a triple, especially if you are new to cycling. If you're planning on crossing the GWB into NJ to ride you have to do a least one big hill to get home (can't avoid the Palisades!). And if you ever venture into Westchester or Connecticut (it's all hills all the time) you'll be really happy that you have a triple.
