Congratulations! I bet you're excited to get back to bike friendly roads!

Also +1 for Soma from me. As an owner of one, I can tell you it's a great bike. I got the Double Cross DC for the disc brake option, since I wanted to ride in all weather. You can put a rack and fenders on it, something you'll probably need. They're lightweight for steel, compared to other brands. I bet you'll find the ride awesome.
