Yup. Any lab geek that can name flesh-eating beetles has got my vote.
I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

I think I am going to watch Bones tonight, but I missed last week's episode. Is there anything I need to know from last week?

Somehow, I take issue with the basic "we are so cool" web design, and the excessively styled models of bikes. But, this is pretty much the bike I want.
Yoiks. That's certainly stylized. Lemme poke about a bit.
Okay, Trek's got some city-hybrids for around the same range. [link]
I'd do some webresearch, frankly: if you're going to spend the money, buy a bike you can hang a basket on, or a set of panniers or mud-guards on. And that has a reputation for quality and sturdy construction. Substance over style, would be my recommendation.

Perkins, DB is hot. That's all you need to know.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I think I am going to watch Bones tonight, but I missed last week's episode. Is there anything I need to know from last week?
I don't think so. There doesn't seem to be any salient through-continuity from last week.
Also, I called the dioxin as soon as I saw the brother's pockmarked face.
That kick-in-the-door thing is so hot.

Now tagless for your comfort.
We paid $400 each for our Trek hybrids about five years back. They were worth it. If you're mostly in town, I recommend slicks--the mountain bike tires have entirely too much traction.

What is even happening?
Okay, so House, which I am not allowed to watch, and what else? I take it GG is on right now? Is there anything else?

Trek's got some city-hybrids for around the same range.
I have one of these for my daily ride to the office. I also needed to ride upright when I bought it, and it has served me well.
I don't know if you are are planning to commute on the bike, Nutty, but if you are then should plan on investing in that price range, for reliability and safety. At today's gas prices it will pay itself off in no time.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Electra does have fenders, and comes with a chain guard, which I like. I can also get a basket. More to the point, fewer than 50 gears, which was what was freaking me out about most of the bikes at the store I was at.
(I walked in to this Bike-o-Rama store and was like, "I want a simple bike." The dude showed me a kids' 1-speed bike, and then a pair of $800 European touring bikes, and I was like, Honey, you are not understanding what I mean by "simple." The other guy at the annex store, he got it.)
I think Trekbikes does have some similar, although the hybrids don't (at a glance) look like they're really suited to sitting upright in the same way. The comfort bikes and cruisers are closer, but I'd need to "try them on" to be sure. And you're right, the prices are comparable.
