Not knowing if my bum leg will even be up to the challenge of riding, I don't really want to spend a fortune on something that may sit and collect dust. My initial thoughts are in the $400-$600 range. I looked at the Trek District, but at $1099, it was a little out of my budget.
I did like the single speed idea of that bike though. Not even sure I would know how or when to shift a bike LOL.

I have a Crosstrail, which is an easy to ride, very comfortable hybrid. You can get them new starting at $440. And used for even less. http://www.specialized.com/us/en/bc/SBC ... Crosstrail
