Im thinking a sort of mountain bike-ish thing cause I can ride that and wear normal clothes. Normal riding bikes seem to require I fucking wear all the gear. Then again Im required to wear the doofy ass helmet so GOD DAMNIT is it possible to win? Are there non-doofy helmets out there?

Chortle chortle chortle!

How about a futuristic looking BMX helmet?

That's my bike, a Giant Warp DS1... a great dual-suspension MTB, although dual-suspension isn't really needed if you are just travelling on roads and basic hills - rear suspension adds weight. My bike was about $800 after tax, you could probably get it for a bit cheaper.
One of the things I loved about Seattle was that it just seemed like the perfect mountainbiking environment, so many hills around.

ooh I like. Now I just need to find a helmet that doesnt look retardo
-
....just in time for rain.

Rules while riding a bike:
1. Look both ways.
2. Always wear a distinguished mentally-challenged helmet. It keeps the focus away from your ugly bikeriding face.

Droz: It doesnt always rain, this isnt Aberdeen

There was no room for cards and the hello kitty decor.

Im definately looking into one of these, VERY slick.
Smooth: nah I just got the standard limited edition, I like the books and the games, but im not a freak.

If you're not trail riding I'd stay away from full suspension bikes. Actually, even then I prefer a hard tail.

how good is your city for bikers? do they have those buttons in the center of crosswalks for bikers to trigger left turns and do they have bike lanes?

Obviously my city doesn't have those buttons, can you show us a pic?

they're like pedestrian crosswalk buttons that are in the middle of the crosswalks and they put them on major streets (ones with a curb in the center). this way, the bicyclist doesn't have to wait for a car that wants to turn left to come up behind him to set off the pressure pad under the street (which is why this is only needed on major streets). in this area, I've only seen it once and that was at the intersection of two major streets because then you don't get a lot of unnecessary red lights.
they basically look like a 3 foot pole with a crosswalk button on it.

A buddy of mine is a buyer for REI corporate, and is an avid mountain biker. I'll ask him and let you know what he suggets.
