Anyway, I've had ads popping up on my FB feed for some time for Pure Cycles. I'd never looked at them until yesterday. Hmmmm... they're kinda cool. And fairly reasonable.
The three that caught my eye are:
Urban Commuter Bike - this would give me 8 speeds plus a sleek and simple look. It is the most expensive of the 3 at $449.
Pure City Classic - this would also provide 3 speeds plus a rack and fenders. It's a little bulkier looking, but it's also on sale for $349 instead of $429.
Coaster Bike - I think this is my favorite. Just a bike. No gears, no hand breaks. Simply pedal and ride. I also like the variety of colors available. And it's only $249!
I still don't know a ton about these bikes, but I like their mission statement and what little I do know about the company. The only issue is I would either need to pay $99 to have it put together, or do it myself. If I were to opt for the Coaster Bike I might just want to put it together myself anyway. So... we will see.

PD, I totally get the bicycle fixation. I had a bicycle in my 20s that I bought after I sold my motorcycle (a Fisher Hoo-koo-ee-koo, 1987), and it just seemed to disappear from beneath me. Then it really did disappear, and the bikes since have all been just a bit disappointing. Part of my disappointment is wishing I could return to a more youthful state (i.e., lose 30+ lbs) but I do think geometry plays into it as well. And I just haven't found a proper replacement.
Good luck with it, man. The first one kinda appeal to me (I remember a buddy from the prairies telling me "We don't need more than three gears -- but we definitely need three") but you gotta go with what appeals to the heart.
