Help buying a Bike

[Takeover_inc]

I am moving from the country into a small town and i am wanting to purchase a bike for transportation. I am clueless when it comes to bikes, so if anyone could help steer me into the right direction.

What i am needing is something that i could ride to work daily (mile or two total) and trips to the store ect. My main complaint with most bikes is that they are too uncomfortable for me ride regularly. To combat this i want something that has a nice sized seat, and some sort of suspension to obsorbe the bumps.

I am 6 foot, 160 pounds. not sure if this factors into anything but there it is.

I think something like the Crossroad series from Specialised would be good for me, but again i am pretty clueless in this area. Is there something out there that would fit my needs at a low price?

Thanks a lot for any help.
